Salisbury, United Kingdom (978-1189)Comments
Kings of all England (924-1158), The Angevin Party, Issue attributed to Earl Patrick of Salisbury.
Uncertain mint, possibly Sereburh (Salisbury); Stanung, moneyer.
Patrick of Salisbury (circa 1122-68), the 1st Earl of Salisbury was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and the uncle of Sir William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, the 'greatest knight that ever lived'. Born to Walter of Salisbury and Sibilla de Chaworth, Patrick was constable of Salisbury. While Patrick initially supported King Stephen in The Anarchy (1135-53), he transferred his allegiance from King Stephen to the Empress Matilda when his sister, Sybilla, married John FitzGilbert in 1141. John was the former Marshal to Henry I and a recent supporter of Matilda. Through this astute political move, Patrick was made an earl and gained the friendship of his new brother-in-law. John went so far as to send his younger son William to stay with Patrick, and it was during this time that William began to learn the qualities of knighthood that made him a legend.
