Information About

Salusbury Family




A commonly acknowledged legend is that after the Babington Plot, the Salusbury Family was split into two scions: those that supported Elizabeth I and those that did not. The parent branch of the family continued to use the original spelling, while the cadet branch, which supported the overthrow of Elizabeth, began to spell their name as Salisbury - as in the Marquess Of Salisbury .

The family produced several members of the House of Commons, and the diarist Hester Thrale .
