“WALTER OF SALISBURY (otherwise known as WALTER FITZ EDWARD, WALTER THE SHERIFF), of Chitterne, Alton Barnes, Amesbury, Chicklade, Etchilhampton, Lake (in Wilsford), Little Langford, Mildenhall, North Tidworth, Rockley (in Preshute), Shrewton, Somerford (in Great Somerford), Tollard (in Tollard Royal), and Wilcot, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Salisbury Castle, son and heir. He married SIBYL DE CHAOURCES, daughter of Patrick (or Patrice) de Chaources (or de Sourches), seigneur of Sourches (in Saint-Symphorien) in Maine, Toddington, Bedfordshire, Great Wishford, Wiltshire, etc., by Maud, daughter of Ernulph (or Arnulph) de Hesdin (or Hesding) [see CHAWORTH 1 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, William, Patrick [1st Earl of Salisbury], and Walter [Canon of Bradenstoke], and two daughters, Hawise and Sibyl. About 1115 King Henry I gave, or more probably confirmed, to the church of Salisbury two hides of land at Warminster, Wiltshire which Walter, son of Edward of Salisbury, had held. In 1130 he was acquitted of £4 of Danegeld in Dorset and £7 in Wiltshire. He was present at the Council of Northampton in 1131. He was with King Stephen at Westminster at Easter 1136, and at Salisbury at Christmas 1139. He founded Bradenstoke Priory in the parish of Lyneham, Wiltshire in 1139. He endowed the priory with the vill of Bradenstoke and the church to Lyneham, Wiltshire; his charter was confirmed by his wife, Sibyl, and his sons, William and Patrick. In 1142 he granted the manor of Tarlton (in Rodmarton), Gloucestershire to the Cathedral church of Salisbury, in recompense for the harm done to the church by his son, William. His wife, Sibyl, predeceased him. WALTER OF SALISBURY took the habit of a canon at Bradenstoke Priory. He died in 1147. He and his wife, Sibyl, were buried at Bradenstoke Priory in the same grave.

Memoirs illus. of the Hist. & Antiqs. of Wiltshire & the City of Salisbury (1851): 216 ("Of Walter of Salisbury (the next representative of the family) few facts are on record. As a baron, he witnessed a charter of king Stephen, in the year 1136; and in 1142 he founded the priory of Bradenstoke, in the vale of Malmesbury, placing therein regular canons of the order of St. Augustine. After the death of his wife (as related in the Book of Lacock), he assume the tonsure and habit of the canons; and there the bodies of both his wife and himself were placed in one tomb by the presbytery. The name of his wife was Sibilla de Cadurcis, or (in English) Chaworth, by him he left issue his son and heir Patrick, afterwards the first Earl of Salisbury. Two younger sons, Walter and William, are said to have been canons of Bradenstoke. Hawise, a daughter, was very honourably married in France. She became, in 1126, the second wife of Rotrou first comte de Perche; and was remarried before 1145 to Robert of France, comte de Dreux: she died before 1152.").

Genealogist n.s. 5 (1889): 209-212 ("The recent publication of Bracton's Note Book' has brought to light two cases, which supply evidence on this subject ... The first of these cases is to be found in the extracts from the Westminster Plea Roll for Trinity Term, 2 Henry III (1218), in which William, Earl of Salisbury (the famous Longsword), claims, in right of his wife, Ela, from Pagan de Chaworth, certain Manors in Gloucestershire, as those which Patrick de Chaworth, Pagan's predecessor (antecessor), gave in marriage with Sibilla, his daughter, in the time of Henry I, which right descended from Sibilla to his son Patrick, and from Patrick to his son William, the father of Ela. Pagan does not challenge this statement in any respect, but pleads, and successfully, that so far from establishing the claim of the Earl and his wife to hold these Manors in capite from the King, it only shows that the ancestors of the Countess received them in marriage from his ancestors. Acccording to the pedigree thus admitted in court, it is clear that Sibilla was daughter of the original Patrick de Chaworth, who had acquired, through marrying Matilda, one of Arnulph de Hesding's daughters, a share of Arnulph's Domesday manors, some of which were afterwards again given as a marriage portion with Sibilla to Walter of Salisbury ... The difficulties as to the dates of the birth of Sibilla's children, supposed to be involved, have no real existence. All that is known as to her son, Earl Patrick, is that he was of age in 1142, and born, therefore, at least as early as 1121, whilst his sister, Hawise, is said to have become the second wife of Rotrou (III), Count of Perche, in 1126, when she may have been, perhaps, sixteen.").

He was born about 1080. Her maritagium likely included the manors of Aldboume and Wanborough, Wiltshire. They had two daughters, Philippe and Felicie. During the 1st Crusade, he fought at the Siege of Nicaea in mid-1097. He commanded a division that broke out of Antioch in June 1098. He crusaded against the Muslims in Spain probably in 1108. In 1114 he aided his father-in-law, King Henry I, at the Siege of Belleme. At the request of his wife, Maud, a hide of land at Wanborough, Wiltshire was given to Lewes Priory. His wife, Maud, was drowned in the shipwreck of the White Ship 25 Dec. 1120. He was Governor of Tudela in Aragon and participated in campaigns in Aragon from 1123 until the mid-1130s.

4. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
"WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 3rd Earl of Surrey, son and heir, probably born in 1119. In June 1137 he was one of the nobles who deserted the army of King Stephen in Normandy. The king pursued them to Pont-Audemer, where he held William and other youths and did his best to pacify them, but did not dare make them fight. William was with his half-brother, Waleran, Count of Meulan, at Rouen 18 Dec. 1138, and at Oxford in 1139 or early in 1140. He was in the army of King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln 2 Feb. 1140/1, but fled with his brother, Count Waleran, before the enemy's opening charge. However, the brothers soon rallied to the queen during the king's captivity and were with her in London about June 1141. After King Stephen's release in Nov. 1141, he witnessed royal charters at Canterbury at Christmas 1141 and at Ipswich in early 1142. He married ELA (or ALA) OF PONTHIEU, daughter of Guillaume III Talvas, Count of Ponthieu and Alençon, by Ela, daughter of Eudes I Borel, Duke of Burgundy. They had one daughter, Isabel. He took the cross on Palm Sunday 24 March 1145/6, and subsequently accompanied King Louis VIII of France on crusade in June 1147. WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 3rd Earl of Surrey, died 19 Jan. 1147/8, being slain when the rearguard of the French king's army was cut to pieces in Laodicea. About 1150 Theobald, Archbishop of Canterbury, remonstrated with his widow, Ela, for detaining from the monks of Lewes Priory the tithes of her dower lands. She married (2nd) probably in or before 1152 (as his 2nd wife) PATRICK OF SALISBURY (otherwise known as PATRICK FITZ WALTER), 1st Earl of Salisbury [see LONGESPEE 3], hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Steward of the Household to Empress Maud, son and heir of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitteme, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Salisbury Castle, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPEE 2 for his ancestry]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Salisbury], Patrick [Canon of Bradenstoke], Philip [Canon of Bradenstoke], and Roger. He was created Earl of Salisbury (or Wiltshire) about 1143; he occurs once as Earl of Wiltshire in the period, 1111 50. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1144-47. Sometime before 1148 he witnessed a charter of Roger Fitz Humphrey to the Templars. In 1153 he witnessed the treaty between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [future King Henry II]. After the accession of King Henry II, he continued to act as Sheriff and was frequently at Court. He witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, John Marshal, to the Templars in 1155-6. At an unknown date, he gave Bradenstoke Priory the church of Wilcot, with its dependent chapel at Draycot Fitz Payne, as well as a portion of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire. He also exchanged the property in Wilsford, Wiltshire given by his father, for the rest of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire, and also gave a salt pit in Canford, Dorset. His wife, Countess Ela, gave the same priory land and rents in Hatherop, Gloucestershire worth 100s. yearly. In 1167 he accompanied King Henry II to Poitou, where the king assigned him to protect his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. PATRICK, Earl of Salisbury was slain about 7 April 1168 by Poitevin nobles while riding near the castle of Lusigan in Poitou with Queen Eleanor. He was buried in the Abbey of St. Hilaire in Poitiers. Queen Eleanor and her son, Richard, subsequently founded an anniversary at St.-Hilaire for their salvation and for the soul of Earl Patrick "who died in our service." His widow, Ela, Countess of Salisbury, died 10 Dec. 1174.

“ROBERT I le Grand, Count of Dreux and Braine, seigneur of Brie-Comte-Robert, Chilly, Longjumeau, Savigny, and Torcy, and, in right of his 1st wife, Count of Perche, seigneur of Beanie, 5th son, born about 1123. He married (1st) in 1144 or 1145 HAWISE OF SALISBURY, widow of Rotrou II, Count of Perche, seigneur of Belleme [see ENGLAND 2.i], and daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Salisbury Castle, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. They had one daughter, Alix (or Alaidis, Alaydis) (wife successively of Waleran III, seigneur of Bréteuil; Guy II de Châtillon, seigneur of Châtillon-sur-Marne, Jean I de Thourotte, seigneur of Thourotte, and Raoul I de Nesle, Count of Soissons). In 1149 he was involved in an aborted conspiracy to seize the throne. His wife, Hawise, died before 1152. He married (2nd) in late 1152 AGNES DE BAUDEMENT, lady of Fere-en-Tardenois, Nesle, Pontarcis, Longueville, Quincy, and Baudement, widow of Milon II, Count of Bar-sur-Seine (died 1 October 1151), and daughter and heiress of Guy (or Gui) de Baudement, seigneur of Braine, Seneschal of Champagne, by his wife, Alix. She was born about 1130. They had six sons, Robert [II] [Count of Dreux and Braine-sur-Vesle], Henri [Bishop of Orleans], Philippe [Bishop of Beauvais, Vidame of Gerberoy], Guillaume (seigneur of Brie-Comte-Robert, Torcy, and Chilly), Pierre, and Jean, and four daughters, Alix (wife of Raoul I, seigneur of Coucy), Isabelle (wife of Hugues III, seigneur of Broyes-Commercy and Châteauvillain), Massilie (or Béatrix, Basle) [nun at Channes Priory, afterwards at Wareville Priory], and Marguerite [nun at Charmes Priory]. In 1158 the Bishop of Soissons absolved him from an excommunication pronounced because of exactions against the priory of Councy. About 1177 another Bishop of Soissons lifted an interdict which the bishop had laid on Robert's land because of a dispute with the prelate. In 1170's he was involved in a dispute over property which he had unjustly taken from the abbey of Igny. In 1183 Pope Lucius III authorized the cathedral chapter at Chartres to excommunicate named barons, including Robert, for exactions in that diocese. ROBERT I, Count of Dreux and Braine, died 11 October 1188. His widow, Agnes, founded Saint-Yved Abbey in Braine. She died 24 July 1204. Robert and his wife, Agnès, were buried in the church of the Abbey of Saint-Yved, Braine. In 1204 Hugues de Garlande, Bishop of Orleans, gave 20 sous of rent on the grange of Cravant to Sainte-Croix of Orleans to celebrate the anniversary of his kinswoman, Agnès, Countess of Braine.
