Adam de Cunteville

Dates: fl. 12th century

Biography

A twelfth-century landholder recorded in a royal fine concerning a knight's fee in Alvoceston or Alfoxton. The same source associates him by marriage with Amelia de Stringston, but that separate Stringston evidence is not treated as proof of a direct Alfoxton conveyance.

Notes / Sources

The evidence supports an interest in Alfoxton, not necessarily an undivided lordship of the entire manor.

Research sources:
- Proceedings of the Somersetshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, vol. 45, paper on the descent of the manor of Alverton, quoting the Pipe Roll and Collinson, History and Antiquities of the County of Somerset, and identifying Alvoceston as Alfoxton. — https://sanhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/10Coleman.pdf
