ADAM DE POYNINGS the younger, son and heir (a), confirmed to Lewes Priory the 12 
solidates of land and the messuages at a date not earlier than 1164 (b); and circa 
1180 he exchanged with the priory the church of Pyecombe for that of Poynings. He 
gave to the same house, for the soul of Beatrice his mother, tithe of his cheeses in 
Poynings and Pangdean; and he frequently occurs as a witness in charters issued 
thereto in 1147 and the ensuing period. In 1194 he occurs as attorney for Hamelin, 
Earl de Warenne; he was living in Easter term 1198 (g), and died before Michaelmas 
1202. [Complete Peerage X:657, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(a) Adam the elder had two other sons, John and William, who according to the 
deduction made "Ante", p. 656, note (c), were younger sons. John witnessed as John 
de Puninges a Norfolk charter of the (third) Earl to Lewes Priory, and as John de 
Punigges, in company with the (third) Earl, another Norfolk charter to the priory. After 
his death several benefactions were made to his memory. The (third) Earl made a gift 
to Castle Acre Priory for his soul; and confirmed the gift made to Lewes Priory by 
William and Adam sons of Beatrice de Puningis for the soul of John their brother, 
namely 10 marks, from Poynings mill. This latter gift was confirmed by Adam de 
Ponnynges (the younger), describing it as made by William his brother and Beatrice his 
mother for the soul of John his brother. Another commemorative gift was made by 
William de Chesney and Aubreye his wife, which Aubreye is described as sister of 
Adam son of Adam de Pynyngis in a charter post 1164. This evidence suggests that 
John died after his father Adam the elder, who must therefore have died during the 
tenure of the Earldom by the third Earl, and therefore before his departure for the 
crusade in 1147.

Note: William de Warenne was the 3rd Earl.

(b) The grantor is described as Adam son of Adam de Punyngis, and the first witness is 
Hamelin, Earl de Warenne.

(g) It is possible that these later references are to a younger Adam, but of this there is 
no corroborative evidence.
