Notes about Edward d'Evereaux

EDWARD OF SALISBURY, styled also Edward the Sheriff, whose parentage is unknown (b), was born ante 1060, it is said in England. He was sheriff of Wiltshire so early as February 1080/1. In 1086 he held in chief 33 manors in Wilts, as well as smaller estates in Surrey, Hants, Dorset, Somerset, Middlesex, Bucks, Oxfordshire and Herts, being styled in D.B. "Edwardus Sarisburiensis." He survived the Conqueror. He m. Unknown of whom nothing is known (e). [Complete Peerage XI:373-4, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]smar, a fictitious person, and brother of Gerold, Earl of Rosmar, born in Normandy before the Conquest (Dugdale, Mon., Vol. vi, p. 501). The nickname "le Ewrus" [=I'heureux, or the fortunate) was converted into "de Evreux" by later writers, with the result that the family has been given the name of Devereux and has been tacked on to the Norman Counts of Evreux (see the tabular pedigree given by Planché, Journal of the Brit. Arch. Ass., Vol. i, p. 39; cf. Appendix G to this volume). For the exposure of this mistake see Herald and Genealogist, Vol. iv, p. 149. "Rosmar" is an error for Roumare (Normandy), which was not a comté (cf. ante, Vol. vii, sub Lincoln); but the statement that Edward was brother of Gerold de Roumare, though apparently accepted by Nichols, Arch. Inst., Salisbury Vol., 1849, p. 213, and in the 1st edition of this work, is baseless.lliam II.ume that this is the same Edward of Salisbury, although Leonia would be a very late daughter. Cheryl Varner, World Connect db=:2753682, made the same assumption. Many of the early Norman Conquerors seemed to have children at very late times in their lives (Hugh "Lupus" d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester is another who seemed to have numerous late children). Either this was a lack of good records at this early period, or the middle aged conquerors set about establishing new English families late in life, and enjoyed their tremendous new-found wealth.
