Adam de Lymbergh

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 Lord 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. 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 his will of 1338 he made a bequest to the Austin Friars at Lincoln.

As he was by virtue of his calling a celibate, his substantial estates in Lincolnshire were inherited by his sister Matilda.
