Biographical notes

From Complete Peerage we can summarize:

• He succeeded his grandfather, also named Adam, 25 September 1247. His father John had died before his grandfather.
• He was summoned against the Welsh and Scots in campaigns from 1258.
• He took the side of the barons early on in the struggles against the king. He was imprisoned and had his lands seized in 1264, but was released after the Baron's victory at Lewes.
• In 1265 he was captured by prince Edward (the future Edward I) 3 days before the battle of Evesham which the barons under Simon de Montfort lost.
• He later made his peace with the king, apparently at considerable expense.
• He was dead by early 1283.
• His wife Joan died some time between about 1304 and 1315.

Adam de Novo Mercato (Newmarch), born about 1215 in Womersley. He did homage to Henry III in 1247, and became a baron when he was summoned to the Parliament called by the Earl of Leicester, Simon de Montfort, in 1264. Subsequently he was escheated (meaning his land was given to the neighbouring Foliots as a punishment for his opposing the king in the barons' civil war), and restored in 1267.
