Patrick of Salisbury, 1st Earl of Salisbury
- Patrick of Salisbury, 1st Earl of Salisbury
Patrick of Salisbury, 1st Earl of Salisbury (d. 1168) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman, and the uncle of the famous William Marshal. Before 1141, Patrick was constable of Salisbury, a powerful local official but not a nobleman. That year, Patrick married his sister to John fitzGilbert the Marshal, who had been a local rival of his, and transferred his allegiance from King Stephen to the Empress Matilda. This political move gained him his earldom, and the friendship of John the Marshal, who was to send his younger son William to stay with him. It was in his household where the famous Marshal first learned about knighthood.
Patrick was killed in France in an ambush by forces of Guy of Lusignan.
