Adam Stable
Adam Stable or Adam Staple was Lord Mayor of London[1] who also served as an MP for the City of London in 1373. He was a Mercer.
He had been convicted in the 1360s for threatening a jury and which may have meant that he was involved in an opposition faction agitating against the Crown.[2]
He was elected by a new electoral system brought in under the anti-Gaunt atmosphere surrounding the Good Parliament that was seen as favouring the lesser trades. He was deposed in 1377 in the aftermath of riots against John of Gaunt[3] to placate Gaunt and was replaced by the rich merchant Nicholas Brembre.[4]
