He was known as Lord of Rougemont (Redcastle, Shropshire) and is considered one of Marcher Lord as was his father at Heighley.

Nicholas's father-in-law Henry, 4th Earl of Buchan, received, amongst other large grants of manors and lands, a grant of the Lordship of the Isle of Man in 1310.

Nicholas married Elizabeth Beaumont, sister of John de Beaumont, 2nd Lord Beaumont, and daughter of Henry de Beaumont, 4th Earl of Buchan. He died without issue and the Barony was abeyant at his demise in 1391.
