• Notes

  Little is known of Longespiee's upbringing or early career, although in a l e t t e r o f 1220 to Hubert de Burgh he reminded the justiciar that they ha d b e e n b r ought up together. He received Appleby, Lincolnshire, from Hen ry I I i n 1 1 8 8, which suggests that by then he had attained his majority . I n 1 1 9 6 h is half-brother Richard I gave him in marriage Ela (or Isabe l) , c o u n tess of Salisbury (b. in or after 1190, d. 1261 ). A soldier an d a d m i n istrator made seneschal of Gascony in 1253 and lord justice of I re l a n d i n 125 9, and Nicholas (d. 1297), bishop of Salisbury from 1291 t o 1 2 9 7 . O f four daughters, Isabel married William de Vescy, Petronilla d i e d u n m arried, Ela married first Thomas, earl of Warwick (d. 1242), the n P h i l i p Basset, and Ida married first Walter Fitzrobert and second Wil li a m d e B e auchamp."
