He paid King Henry III two marks for a respite of knighthood on 7 Nov. 1256. And King Alexander III wrote to Henry to ask him to remove the destraint of knighthood placed upon Walter (V) until Walter returned from his intended pilgrimage to Santiago de Campostella, 28 Aug. 1260 (1/8/29). Walter (V) was an envoy of Alexander III to Henry III in May 1265 (CDS, i, no. 2381; 4/41/1).
Sir Walter (V) died on 2 Nov. 1271. (CDS, i, no. 2626).
He married a woman named Christina, who later married Walter de Percy in England, as mentioned in a letter of King Alexander III dated 23 Sept. 1274 (1/8/86).
