William "Longespee" [Earl of] SALISBURY

                   RESEARCH NOTES:
      1. It has been claimed in several sources that Rosamond Clifford was the mother of William "Longespee"; these claims in all instances are seemingly premises. In no case is there any positive evidence to substantiate the claim. It has been concluded that it is very unlikely Rosamond Clifford could have been his mother in view of the lack of this evidence. It is unknown who his real mother is, though this premise has been included for assistance in future research.  (See Eng. Pub. A., v. 11, p. 76)

HISTORICAL NOTES:
      William of Salisbury was a Baron named in the Magna Charta.
