As lord of St Donats he joined the marcher opposition to Hugh Despenser the younger, who was his overlord in Glamorgan; Stradling was arrested in January 1322 and his lands in England and Wales were seized. They were restored in July 1324 after he provided security in £200 for his loyalty. After Edward II was deposed in 1327, Stradling was knighted by Edward III and became a trusted knight in Glamorgan, Somerset, and Dorset: he resided at St Donats, was sheriff and escheator of Somerset and Dorset in 1343, MP for Somerset in 1343, and JP in both shires in 1346–7.
