Ela of Salisbury, 3rd Countess of Salisbury (1187 – 24 August 1261) was an English peeress. She succeeded to the title in her own right in 1196 upon the death of her father, William FitzPatrick, 2nd Earl of Salisbury.[citation needed]

Ela married William Longespée, an illegitimate half-brother of kings Richard I and John, who thus became Earl of Salisbury, in 1196. Ela held the post of High Sheriff of Wiltshire for two years after William's death, then became a nun, and eventually Abbess of Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire, which she had founded in 1229.

Family
Ela was born in Amesbury, Wiltshire in 1187, the only child and heiress of William FitzPatrick, 2nd Earl of Salisbury, Sheriff of Wiltshire and Eléonore de Vitré (c. 1164–1232/1233).[Note 1] In 1196, she succeeded her father as suo jure 3rd Countess of Salisbury. There is a story that immediately following her father's death she was imprisoned in a castle in Normandy by one of her paternal uncles who wished to take her title and enormous wealth for himself. According to the legend, Ela was eventually rescued by William Talbot, a knight who had gone to France where he sang ballads under windows in all the castles of Normandy until he received a response from Ela.[1][Note 2]

In 1198, Ela's mother married her fourth husband, Gilbert de Malesmains.

Marriage and issue
In 1196, the same year she became countess and inherited her father's numerous estates, Ela married William Longespée, an illegitimate son of King Henry II, by his mistress Ida de Tosny.[Note 3]

The couple had been betrothed earlier but Ela was the King's ward until she reached the age of majority. William was approximately 13 years older than Ela.[2] After the marriage, Longespée became 3rd Earl of Salisbury by right of his wife. The Continuator of Florence recorded that their marriage had been arranged by King Richard I, who was William's legitimate half-brother.[citation needed]

Together William and Ela had at least eight or possibly nine children:

William II Longespée, titular Earl of Salisbury (c. 1209 – 7 February 1250), married in 1216 Idoine de Camville, daughter of Richard de Camville and Eustache Basset, by whom he had four children. William was killed while on crusade at the Battle of Mansurah. His son William III Longespée died in 1257, in the lifetime of his grandmother Ela. Ela's heiress was William III's daughter Margaret Longespée who died in 1310.
Richard Longespée, clerk and canon of Salisbury.
Stephen Longespée, Seneschal of Gascony and Justiciar of Ireland (1216–1260), married as his second wife 1243/1244 Emmeline de Ridelsford, daughter of Walter de Ridelsford and Annora Vitré, by whom he had two daughters: Ela, wife of Sir Roger La Zouche, and Emmeline (1252–1291), the second wife of Maurice FitzGerald, 3rd Lord of Offaly.
Nicholas Longespée, Bishop of Salisbury (died 28 May 1297)
Isabella Longespée (died before 1244), married William de Vescy, Lord of Alnwick, as his first wife shortly after 16 May 1226, by whom she had issue.
Petronilla Longespée, died unmarried
Ela Longespée, who first married Thomas de Beaumont, 6th Earl of Warwick, and then married Philip Basset. No issue.[3]
Ida Longespée, married firstly Ralph who was son of Ralph de Somery, Baron of Dudley, and Margaret, daughter of John Marshal;[3] she married secondly William de Beauchamp, Baron of Bedford, by whom she had six children, including Maud de Beauchamp, wife of Roger de Mowbray.[Note 4]
Ida II de Longespée (she is alternatively listed as William and Ela's granddaughter: see notes below), married Sir Walter FitzRobert, son of Robert Fitzwalter, by whom she had issue including Ela FitzWalter, wife of William de Odyngsells. Ela's and Williams's grandsons include William de Clinton and John de Grey.[3]
Mary Longespée, married. No issue.[3]
Pernel Longespée.

Lacock Abbey, founded in 1229 by Ela, Countess of Salisbury
Later life
In 1225, Ela's husband William was shipwrecked off the coast of Brittany, upon returning from Gascony. He spent months recovering at a monastery on the Island of Ré in France. He died at Salisbury Castle on 7 March 1226 just days after arriving in England. Ela inherited the post of Sheriff of Wiltshire and held that position for two years following her husband's death.[4] She never remarried; some historians suggest that she did not remarry because her new husband would have become the earl and she wanted that role reserved for her eldest son.[5]

Three years later in 1229, Ela founded Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire as a nunnery of the Augustinian order. In 1238, she gave up all rights to the county of Wiltshire.[6] She entered the abbey as a nun; she was made Abbess of Lacock in 1240, and held the post until 1257. The Book of Lacock recorded that Ela founded the monasteries at Lacock and Hinton in Somerset (Hinton Charterhouse).[7] During her tenure as abbess, Ela obtained many rights for the abbey and village of Lacock. She gave up that role in 1243 due to age and health issues.[8]

Ela's tombstone at Lacock Abbey
Ela died on 24 August 1261 and was buried in Lacock Abbey. The inscription on her tombstone, written in Latin, reads:

Below lie buried the bones of the venerable Ela, who gave this sacred house as a home for the nuns. She also had lived here as holy abbess and Countess of Salisbury, full of good works[9]

Ela has been described as having been "one of the two towering female figures of the mid-13th century", the other one being Margaret de Quincy, Countess of Lincoln.[10]

Notes
The earls of Salisbury are sometimes mistakenly assigned the surname "d'Evreux", but it is spurious, arising from confusion over the nickname of a fictitious ancestor, Walter le Ewrus (Walter the Fortunate). The family of the earls of Salisbury never used the name "d'Evreux", they do not descend from the Norman counts of Evreux, nor do the later Devereux derive from them. See Cokayne, George (1982). The Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom, Extant, Extinct, or Dormant. Vol. XI. Gloucester England: A. Sutton. p. 373, note (b). ISBN 0-904387-82-8.
This story is similar to that of the (contemporary) imprisonment of Richard I and his apparent recovery by Blondel de Nesle
Ida later married Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk
This Ida is sometimes confused with Ida II Longespée, who married Sir Walter FitzRobert of Woodham Walter, Essex, by whom she had issue including Ela FitzWalter, wife of William de Odyngsells. Ida II Longespée has been given different parents by different genealogists; G. Andrews Moriarty suggested the two Idas were sisters; Gerald Paget suggests Ida II who married Walter FitzRobert may have been the daughter of William Longespée II, Earl of Salisbury, by his wife, Idoine de Camville.

Alternate birth year 1188

Earldom of Salisbury: Although William Longespee held the Earldom of Salisbury, albeit in right of his wife, his eldest son and heir Sir William (I) Longespee did not succeed to the dignity. Nor did Sir William's son, Sir William (II) Longespee. The position was complicated by the fact that Ela/Isabel outlived both her son and grandson. Accordingly after her death in 1261, her great-granddaughter, Sir William II's daughter Margaret, came to be regarded by much later writers as de jure Countess of Salisbury, although she was referred to by that title in at least two documents dating from 1311, five years at most after her death. Yet neither Margaret nor her husband Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, styled themselves Countess/Earl of Salisbury. [Burke's Peeerage, p. 2532]--------------------------EARLDOM OF WILTSHIRE (IV)EARLDOM OF SALISBURY (III)ELA (or ISABEL), only daughter and heir, born circa 1191, in 1196 was given by Richard I, with the Earldom of SALISBURY, to his bastard brother, WILLIAM LONGESPEE. He was with Richard I in Normandy 1196-98; and was present at John's Coronation, 27 May 1199. Sheriff of Wilts, Midsummer 1199-1202; 1203-1207; 1213 till his death. In 1202 he went on a diplomatic mission to France; in 1203 he was keeper of the castle of Avranches; in 1204, with the Earl Marshal, he escorted Llewelyn to the King at Worcester. Keeper of the castle and honor of Eye, 1205; in which year he led a small band of knights to Rochelle. He was of the escort of William the Lion, King of Scots, to meet John at York, November 1206. In 1208, when the King anticipated the Interdict by several orders regarding monks and clergy who refused to celebrate divine service, those of the diocese of Ely were put under the direction of the Earl of Salisbury. He headed an Embassy in March 1209 to the prelates and princes of Germany, on behalf of the King's nephew Otto; in December he was appointed Keeper of the March of Wales. He attended John on his expedition to Ireland, 1210. From May 1212 to March 1215/6 sheriff of Cambs and Hunts; sometime (certainly in 1212-13, when invasion from France threatened) Keeper of Dover Castle; in Aug. 1212, supervisor of the keeper of the Archbishopric of Canterbury. He was one of the 4 Earls who, at Dover in May 1213, swore that John would observe the terms laid down by the Pope for satisfaction of the bishops, and witnessed his declaration of homage to the Papal See. He was then preparing an expedition, of which he was joint commander, to help the Count of Flanders against France. In June he went overseas again in the same cause, with a credit of over 20,000 marks. In 1214, as Marshal of the King of England, he commanded combined forces which recovered almost all Flanders for the Count; but on 27 July the Earl and the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne were captured at the battle of Bouvines. In May 1215 he was one of the 3 Earls appointed to visit and examine the state of the royal castles, and a messenger from the King to the City of London; and he was at Runnymede in June, on the King's side. Later in the year, with Falkes de Bréauté, the Earl led a punitive expedition into the eastern counties. He remained a zealous loyalist till after mid-June 1216; but, presumably before the end of the month, when Louis had entered Winchester, the Earl surrendered Salisbury Castle to him. He had returned to his allegiance before 7 March 1216/7, when his lands were restored to him. On 14 March he had a grant of Sherborne Castle and the co. of Somerset, and under grants of Somerset and Devon, 14 and 17 August, he served as sheriff of both counties till Michaelmas 1217. At Whitsuntide he marched with the Earl Marshal to the relief of Lincoln. In August he was with Hubert de Burgh in the victory over the French fleet off Thanet, and in September he witnessed the treaty with Louis at Lambeth. He was among the guarantors of the truce with France, March 1219/20. In 1220 he and his Countess laid the 4th and 5th stones at the founding of the new cathedral at New Sarum. He was with the King, October 1223, in the successful expedition against Llewellyn. In 1224 Keeper of the Castles of Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury, accounting as sheriff of Salop and Staffs, Christmas 1223 to Michaelmas 1224. In 1225 he went with the young Earl of Cornwall, as supervisory commander, on a successful expedition to Gascony. He died 7 March 1225/6 in Salisbury Castle, and was buried in the Cathedral. After his death, the Countess, who (according to the Lacock account) was born 1187, did homage for her inheritance, 19 March 1225/6; on the 23rd she was required to surrender Salisbury Castle; the county of Wilts was committed to her during pleasure, 22 January 1226/7. She founded Lacock Abbey, 1229; took the veil there in 1238; was Abbess, 1240-57; died 24 August 1261, and was buried there. [Complete Peerage XI:379-82, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
