“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.").

Edward had held 3 carucates in terrra villanorum in Tisbury in 1086; the total value of knights' lands in the manor was £13, which, given the usual equation of £1 to 1 hide, would suggest an assessment of 5 hides for Edward's holding: DB i. 67bi. Walter's son, Earl Patrick of Salisbury, held a knight's fee of the abbess in 1166: RB, i. 213. Bordering Edward's manor of Boyton (DB. i. 69bi) is Chicklade, a detached member of Tisbury, which was called a knight's fee in the Middle English list, and descended through the line of the earls of Salisbury: Williams, 'Knights', pp. 233, 236; VCH Wilts, xiii. 106, 111.").
