The manor of GREAT GADDESDEN was bequeathed by will to Saint Albans Abbey by Ethelgifu, a noble matron, between 942 and 946. (fn. 4) The abbey leased the manor for lives, and Wlwen appears to have held it in this way at the time of the death of Edward the Confessor. (fn. 5) William the Conqueror seems to have ignored this arrangement and granted the manor to Edward of Salisbury, sheriff of Wiltshire, who held it in 1086. (fn. 6) His son or grandson Walter was living in 1136 and 1142, and left a son and heir, Patrick of Salisbury, who was created about 1149 earl of Salisbury or earl of Wiltshire, (fn. 7) and was slain while returning from a pilgrimage to Galicia in Spain.

Earldom of Salisbury: The first creation of this title took place some time between June 1142 and 1147, when the Empress Maud, Henry I's daughter made Patrick de Salisbury an Earl. He is sometimes referred to as Earl of Wiltshire and sometimes as Earl of Salisbury, usmaclly the latter. At this time an earldom was an official position rather than title of honour, but was often held by successive members of the same family, though not necessarily by right. Patrick was descended from a line of men who had been Sheriffs of Wiltshire from shortly after the Norman Conquest and who may even have been of English rather than Norman origin. Patrick's son succeeded him as Earl but died leaving an only child, a daughter called Ela or Isabel. Richard I arranged her marriage to William Longespee ("Long Sword"), his illegitimate half-brother by Henry II out of either Rosamund/Rosamond Clifford (the "Fair Rosamond" of tradition) or a woman of obscure antecedents called Hikenai or Ykenai. (Longespee may, however have been born of some other woman altogether).
