Diplomatic errands
1368

In 1368 Adam was brought to Rome by the Benedictine monk and Pope - Urban V. He was not to stay long. In fact he had only been in the eternal city for a few months when Urban sent Adam back to England with a letter for the King. It was not a mission that was likely to make him popular at court!

To King Edward . Desiring and exhorting him to inhibit his subjects wherever they may be from giving help to those companies of wicked men who are fighting against the Roman Church and its subjects. Full credence may be given to Adam de Estone, monk of Norwich bearer of these presents. May 3rd 1368
