NOTE:
This is probably the Adam de Everingham who was summoned to parliament in 1309 by King Edward II. Source: Hall of Names Research (c)1994 cert# 943320-12.10 H-12068
Adam de Everingham's effigy is made of Aubigny marble with his crest lion carved on the shield. He was the son of Robert Everingham (d.1287). He served in the Scottish war of 1303 and in 1306 Edward I conferred the Knighthood of the Bath on him. In 1309 King Edward created him Baron Everingham, of Laxton, but he MAY HAVE later took up arms against the king and was taken prisoner at the Battle of Boroughbridge in March 1322 and had to pay a ransom of 400 marks to secure his release. There is much speculation that the Adam taken prisoner may have been this Adam's cousin.
