First House Salisbury

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The First House of Salisbury was the short-lived dynasty of the first Earls of Salisbury . It first appeared with the Norman conquest of England : Edward of Salisbury became Sheriff of Salisbury , his grandson Patrick became the 1st Earl of Salisbury.

The family died out with Patrick's granddaughter Ela. Ela was married to William Longespee , an illegitimate son of King Henry II , who took the title as 3rd Earl of Salisbury.

A nephew of Earl Patrick, son of his sister Sibyl, was William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke , who began his career in the service of his uncle.

According to the traditional genealogy, the Earls of Salisbury and the family of William de Roumare, 1st Earl of Lincoln, have the same progenitor with Walter le Ewrus , whose existence, however, is to be regarded as invented according to current research.
