He married EMMA.

Notes for ADAM DE ALDITHLEY
He appears to have been the first member of his family to have used the surname 'de Aldithley' in official documents, when in 1155 and again in 1160 he witnessed Charters of his Overlord, Bertram de Verdun. His two brothers, Liulf and Roger, still continued to sign themselves as 'Liulf fitz Liulf' and 'Roger fitz Liulf' respectively, when they witnessed Charters in 1160-1202. In 1184 and 1185, Adam de Aldithley succeeded Bertram de Verdun as Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leiscestershire. When Bertram de Verdun departed for the Crusades in 1190 with Richard I, as special evidence of his favor, granted the Manor of Stanleigh to Adam de Aldithley. During the latter part of his life, Adam decided to rearrange his estates by granting to his cousin, William (the son of his uncle, Adam de Stanleigh), all the Manor of Stanleigh and half of the Manor of Balterley in exchange for his cousin's tenancy of the Manor on Talk of the Hill. Thus it was that the two separate lines began, with the Audleys at Aldithley and the Stanleys at Stanleigh.

Children of ADAM DE ALDITHLEY and EMMA are:

• i. ADAM4 DE ALDITHLEY.
• ii. HENRY DE ALDITHLEY.
• iii. WILLIAM DE ALDITHLEY.
• iv. LUCAS DE ALDITHLEY.
• v. ISABEL DE ALDITHLEY.
