Adam de Chetwynd, Knight

The first recorded mention of the lord of Chetwynd was of Adam de Chetwynd in 1180.

"Adam de Chetwynd occurs on the Forest-Roll of 1180 as compounding for a pourpresture by payment of three sillings. In June 1200, he occurs as Visor in a case of Essoign, a business always at that time entrusted to knights. At the County Assize of October 1203, Adam de Chetwind essoigned his attendance at the common summons, his Essoign or being Nicholas Crrasset." ~ Eyton's Antiquities of Shropshire, Vol. VIII, p. 82

Adam married Agnes Lovel, daughter of William de Lovel and Isabella, in 1194 in Chetwynd, Shropshire, England. (Agnes Lovel was born in 1170 in Minster Lovel, Oxfordshire, England.) (240)

" ... Sir Adam died in 1210. He is said to have married Agnes, daughter of John Lord Lovel of Tichmersh and minster-Lovel, Oxon, which is confirmed by the fact that his grandson, Sir John Chetwyn, inherited property at Baxterley in North Warwickshire "from his kinsman John, the son of William Lovell." [Blacstone's Commentaries, Ed. 1791, iii. p. 278]"
