Now or later, he held the offices of High Steward of St. Swithun’s Priory, Winchester, Steward of Shene Priory (Dorset) and Keeper (1536) of Pamber Forest, near Basingstoke. In the Summer of 1533, Paulet went to France as a member of the Embassy which the Duke of Norfolk took over to join King Francis I in a proposed interview with the Pope, and kept Cromwell informed of its pro gress.

On his return, Paulet was charged with he unpleasant task of notifying the King’s orders to his discarded wife and daughter. He was one of the judges of Fisher and More in the Summer of 1535 and of Anne Boleyn’s supposed accomplices in May 1536.
