Stevenson, 1025, 1028; VCH Glos. iv. 373. The sole source for the year 1411–12 is S. Rudder, Glos. 114–15. It is unlikely that he was bailiff in 1422–3, as suggested by Rudder and in VCH Glos. loc. cit., or, if so, it was not with Thomas Compton as his fellow, for Compton had died ten years previously.

Commr. of gaol delivery, Gloucester Feb. 1399; inquiry Sept. 1412 (death of Thomas Compton).

BAMME, Adam (d.1397), of London.

Family and Education
m. (1) bef. May 1375, Eleanor, ?wid. of John Burgys or Brygys of London, goldsmith; (2) bef. Dec. 1391, Margaret (d.1431), da. of John Stodeye† (d.1376) of London, vintner, by his w. Joan Gisors, wid. of John Berlingham† (d. by Jan. 1375) of London, mercer, Sir John Philipot† (d.1384) of London, grocer, John Fitznichol (d. Mar. 1391) of London and Bradwell, Suff., esquire, 1s.The identification of Bamme’s two wives poses certain problems. It appears that the pardon for outlawry granted to a man who had been sued by ’Adam Bamme and Katherine his wife, administratrix of John Burgys’ at some point before February 1376 is mistaken as to her Christian name, since all the other legal records of the period refer to her as Eleanor (Corporation of London RO, hpl 97, Monday bef. feast St. Margaret, 49 Edw. III; hr 110/81; CPR, 1374-7, p. 231; 1385-9, p. 294). Bamme’s second wife was undoubtedly the daughter of John Stodeye, although it seems that her previous husband, Sir John Philipot, had two wives named Margaret. The first, who died between February 1375 and October 1376, was the daughter of Richard Croydon, fishmonger (Cal. Wills ct. Husting London ed. Sharpe, ii(1), 167-8); in October 1376 Philipot obtained custody of the children whom his second wife, Margaret Stodeye, had already had by her previous husband, John Berlingham. These children were remembered in his will, which confirmed their mother in property formerly belonging to Stodeye (ibid. 275-7; Cal. Letter Bk. London, H, 49). For Margaret’s ancestry and the importance of her marriage see R. Bird, Turbulent London Ric. II, 2, app. 1; Corporation of London RO, hcp 117 m. 1; hpl 120, Monday bef. feast St. Margaret, 20 Ric.
