Eure served as Warden of the Middle March from 1586[7] to 1588 and again in 1595, a troubled position. He came into conflict with Thomas Scrope, 10th Baron Scrope of Bolton, Warden of the West March, siding with Thomas Carleton over the Kinmont Willie affair.[8] In another quarrel, he allegedly tried to poison John Browne (MP for Morpeth), following an attack on Browne by his servants, and the loss of his position in 1598.[9]

Eure married first, by 1578, Mary, daughter of Sir John Dawnay (of Sessay, Yorkshire), who was MP for Thirsk.
