Adam's Life and Royal Connection
Adam FitzRoy was known as the "bastard son of the lord king." This information comes from King Edward II's financial records from 1322. These records show that Adam received money to prepare for a military trip.
Preparing for the Scottish Campaign
Between June 6 and September 18, 1322, Adam was given money. This money, about thirteen pounds and twenty-two pence, was for "equipment and other necessary things." This suggests he was a teenager at the time, likely born between 1303 and 1309. The payments were made to Adam directly or to his teacher, Hugh Chastilloun.
Adam's Death and Burial
Adam died during the Scottish campaign. The exact reason for his death is not known. He was buried at Tynemouth Priory on September 30, 1322. His father, King Edward II, paid for a special silk cloth with gold thread to be placed over Adam's body.
