Vol12 Image118 Pg118 William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury. In June 1233 he received knighthood from Henry III in person at Gloucester, but did not receive his father’s earldom either then or at any later time, though he is often described as Earl of Salisbury. The reason of this is unknown, except that he himself declared that the king withheld the title and its emoluments from him in consequence of some legal difficulty, and not from any displeasure, and that he received from the king a grant of sixty marks from the exchequer until such time as his claim should b e decided.
