In 1279, Jean travelled to Amiens and to England to negotiate theTreaty of Amiens,which ended the state of war between Edward of England andPhilip III of Franceand returned the Agenais to English control. Jean de Grailly eventually fell short of funds for his activities, since his expenses need approval from the Exchequer before he could receive his salary. He took to exploitation and illegal exactions from the peasants, whose complaints eventually reached the ears of Edward I. He was removed from office sometime between June 1286 and Spring 1287.
