SALISBURY, WILLIAM LONGSWORD (or LONGESPEE), EARL OF (d. 1226)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 78 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SALISBURY, WILLIAM LONGSWORD (or LONGESPEE), EARL OF (d. 1226) , was an illegitimate son of
Henry
  II. In 1198 he received from King Richard I. the hand of Isabella, or Ela (d. 1261), daughter and heiress of William,
earl
  of Salisbury, and was granted this title with the lands of the earldom. He held many high offices under John, and commanded a section of the English forces at Bouvines (1214), when he was made a prisoner. He remained faithful to the royal
house
  except for a few months in 1216, when John's cause seemed hopelessly lost. He was also a supporter of Hubert de
Burgh
 . In 1225he went on an expedition to Gascony, being wrecked on the Isle of Re on the return voyage. The hardships of this adventure undermined his health, and he died at Salisbury on the 7th of March 1226, and was buried in the cathedral there. The eldest of Longsword's four sons, William (c.1212-125o) did not receive his father's earldom, although he is often called
earl
  of Salisbury. In 1247 he led the English crusaders to join the French at
Damietta
  and was killed in battle with the Saracens in February 1250
