Marge...
Is there anyone who can identify "Edward the younger of Salisbury "
The following on Adelicia de Raimes
seems relevant:
"First married to Edward the younger of Salisbury, she was widowed
before 1129/30 when she was the wife of Payn of Houghton."

mjcar...
Younger son of Edward of Salisbury, sometime Sheriff of Wiltshire,
whose descendant Ela brought the Salisbury title to William Longespee.
I think the above details are from Keats-Rohan.

Marge...
Wish to thank you, Tim & Matthew for your replies.
Am eagerly awaiting a copy of Keats-Rohan's "Domesday People &
Domesday Descendants"


Tim Powys-Lybbe...
This is a direct quote from Keats-Rohan's Domesday Descendants, p. 653.

Then if you look up Edward II de Saresberie, p. 700 of the same volume,
there he is with his first wife Adelicia de Raimes. He was a young son
of Eduuard Saresbeiencsis who appears in the same author's excellent
Domesday People, pp. 186-7.

mvernonconnolly...
Hmm, there seems to be a slight inconsistency if Adelicia is stated to
be both Edward's first wife (p.700) and his widow (p.653).

Tim Powys-Lybbe...
Ooops, my fault: delete 'first'.


Edward and Adelicia apparently had a daughter Leonia who married Robert
d'Estouteville/de Stuteville, according to the pedigrees of that family
in ES XIII. If the ES account is correct, they would be ancestral to
(inter alia) Catherine de Balsac (d.1631/2), wife of Esme Stuart, 1st
Duke of Lennox (d.1583).

Tim Powys-Lybbe...
Leonia is also given in the article for both her mother and her father,
so she sounds fairly real, and Keats-Rohan includes: "In 1212 Leonia
held the Lincolnshire tenancy-in-chief of her ancestor Ralph fitz Hubert
(Fees 182)."

I have not checked Rosie Bevan's site on DP/DD.


Finally don't forget Rosie Bevan's accumulation of corrections to these
