Michael de Poynings , Sir 
Michael de was born about 1170 in Poynings, Sussex, England. Michael de's father was Adam "The Younger" de Poynings , Sir. His paternal grandparents were Adam "The Elder" de Poynings , Sir and Beatrice. He was an only child. He died before 1240.General Notes
MICHAEL, son and heir, in 1202 fined a Norwegian hawk for having a weekly market in Crawley, Sussex. He was abroad in the King's service in the summer and autumn of 1206, and in Ireland in 1210. In February 1215/6 he was in arms against the King, but was granted safe conduct throughout the realm in August 1217. He married, before Trin. term 1206, Margaret, widow of John DE CAILLY, of Norfolk. He appears to have been living at Michaelmas 1230, but was dead in 1242-43 (f). [Complete Peerage X:657-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
(f) When his son was in possession of Poynings; he was probably dead in 1240, when Thomas was defending his rights of warren in Sussex.
Note: CP in the entry for Michael's father, stated that there could be another Adam de Poynings between Michael, b. abt. 1170 (maybe even later), and Adam, b. bef. 1126 (and maybe even earlier). Certainly the birth dates would indicate a probability; birth of an eldest son at age 44 (or older) is not common.
