Adam de Lymbergh (died 1339) was an English Crown official and judge of the early fourteenth century, who served two Kings with distinction. He was Lord Chancellor of Ireland, a Baron of the Exchequer and Keeper of the Privy Seal. He was born in Lincolnshire, where he was a substantial landowner with estates at Torksey and Navenby; his name probably derives from the village of Great Limber in the same county. As he was by virtue of his calling a celibate, his substantial estates in Lincolnshire were inherited by his sister Matilda.

  • Adam de Lymbergh (died 1339) was an English Crown official and judge of the early fourteenth century, who served two Kings with distinction. He was Lord Chancellor of Ireland, a Baron of the Exchequer and Keeper of the Privy Seal. He was born in Lincolnshire, where he was a substantial landowner with estates at Torksey and Navenby; his name probably derives from the village of Great Limber in the same county. He was in holy orders: he became prebendary of Stafford in 1312, and held at least four livings: Rye, Sussex, Berkswell, Warwickshire and two parishes in Lincolnshire itself, Firsby and Algakirk. He was a valued Crown official who served in several positions of trust from early in the reign of Edward II. He was appointed a Remembrancer of the Exchequer in 1311, and the records show that he was exceptionally diligent in performing his duties. He was appointed Constable of Bordeaux, then an English possession, in 1322, and served for three or four years. Two petitions of his to the King and Council survive from about 1330 when his accounts were being audited. The first requests that the Exchequer allow him his costs of travelling to Bordeaux, and of his installation as Constable. The second petition, after referring to the extreme difficulties he had encountered as Constable, asks for his accounts to be dealt with at once, so that he might be repaid his expenses. King Edward III, who like his father had high regard for Adam, granted both petitions. In 1323 he was appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal, one of the first recorded holders of the office. Edward III appointed him Lord Chancellor of Ireland in 1330, and he served in that office for four years. He then returned to England and was appointed a Baron of the Exchequer, in which capacity he served until his death in 1339. As he was by virtue of his calling a celibate, his substantial estates in Lincolnshire were inherited by his sister Matilda. (en)
