He was born in Champagne and came to the east in the 1160s, where he served King Amalric I, to whom he was distantly related. Amalric made him seneschal of Jerusalem, and in 1167 he participated in Amalric's expedition to Egypt. He encouraged Amalric to make a treaty with Egypt rather than capturing it by force and submitting it to plunder; after Amalric returned home, Egypt quickly fell under the control of Nur ad-Din and his commander Shirkuh. This event would eventually lead to the union of Egypt and Syria under Saladin, an inauspicious outcome for the crusader kingdom.

In 1174 Amalric died and Miles acted as an unofficial regent for his son and successor Baldwin IV, who, although stricken with leprosy, was crowned king in his own right. The chronicler William of Tyre did not like him, calling him "a brawler and a slanderer, ever active in stirring up trouble," and Miles insulted the other barons of the kingdom, especially those who were native easterners, by refusing to consult them on any matter. Count Raymond III of Tripoli came to Jerusalem and claimed the regency as Baldwin's nearest male relative. Raymond was supported by the other powerful native barons, including Humphrey IV of Toron (Miles' stepson, the son of Stephanie and Humphrey III), Baldwin of Ibelin and Balian of Ibelin. In the autumn of 1174 Miles was assassinated in Acre, by unknown persons, although there is no direct evidence that Raymond was involved. William of Tyre heard rumours that the assassination occurred because Miles was so fiercely loyal to Baldwin IV, or because he was plotting to take over the kingship with help from his relatives in France.
