The eldest son of John Bourchier, a judge of common pleas, he began life in the profession of arms. He was returned as a member of parliament for the county of Essex in 1330, 1332, 1338, and 1339. In 1334 he was chief justice of the king's bench in Ireland. He was present at the battle of Cadsant in 1337. He sat in the parliament of 1340. When on his return to England the king Edward III displaced his ministers, he committed the great seal, which had long been held by Archbishop John de Stratford and his brother Robert de Stratford, the Bishop of Chichester, alternately, to Bourchier, who thus became, on 14 December 1340, the first lay chancellor. His salary was fixed at Pds. 500, besides the usual fees. In the struggle between the king and the archbishop, Bourchier withheld the writ of summons to the ex-chancellor, interrupted his address to the bishops in the Painted Chamber, and on 27 April 1341 urged him to submit to the king.
