K: Edward de Salisbury, Lord of Salisbury, Sheriff of Wiltshire.
Crouch: Edward of Salisbury, of the honor of Tancarville in the early part
of the reign of Henry I. He appears in two charters of William Tancarville (1),
one the foundation charter of the abbey of St-Georges-de-Boscherville. Edward
was the benefactor to the abbey in Normandy. This appearance of a Salisbury-
Tancarville link may well bespeak a marriage between the families, perhaps
between Edward and a daughter, sister or aunt of William (1) de Tancarville.
The Salisbury lands in Normandy would then be the girl's marriage portion.
William (1) de Tancarville was very active in England in the reign of Henry I,
with lands in Edward's Wiltshire, and also in Gloucestershire and Rutland, with
a Marcher lordship in Gwent. (Note, pages 19 and 20).
AF calls him Edward Devereux, and AF says born about 1065.
