| Name-Var | William Longspee2 | |
| Note* | William Longespee became Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife. In thebeginning of King John's reign this nobleman was sheriff of Wiltshire, hewas afterwards warden of the marches of Wales, and then sheriff of thecounties of Cambridge and Huntingdon. About this period (14th John )[1213], the baronial contest commencing, William Longespee at onceespoused the royal cause and maintained it so stoutly that he wasincluded by the barons amongst the evil councillors of the crown. Thenext year he was again constituted sheriff of Wilts and he held theoffice from that time during the remainder of his life. He had also agrant of the honour of Eye, in Suffolk, and was the same year a witnessto the agreement made between King John and the barons as guarantee forthe former. He was likewise a witness to the charter whereby Johnresigned his kingdom to the Pope. After this we find him a principalleader in the royal army until the very close of John's reign, when heswerved in his loyalty and joined, for a short period, the ranks of Lewisof France. Upon the accession, however, of Henry III [1216], he didhomage to that monarch, particularly for the county of Somerset, whichthe king then gave him; and joining with William Marshall. governor ofthe king and kingdom, raised the siege of Lincoln when he was constitutedsheriff of Lincolnshire and governor of Lincoln Castle, being invested atthe same time with sheriff of the co. of Somerset, and governorship ofthe castle of Shirburne. His lordship soon afterwards accompanied theEarl of Chester to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damieta, inwhich the crescent triumphed. He served subsequently in the Gascon wars,whence returning to England, Dugdale relates, 'there arose so great atempest at sea that, despairing of life, he threw his money and richapparel overboard. But when all hopes were passed, they discerned amighty taper of wax burning bright at the prow of the ship and abeautiful woman standing by it who preserved it from wind and rain sothat it gave a clear and bright lustre. Upon sight of which heavenlyvision both himself and the mariners concluded of their future security,but everyone there being ignorant what this vision might portend exceptthe earl, he, however, attributed it to the benignity of the blessedvirgin by reason that, upon the day when he was honoured with the girdleof knighthood, he brought a taper to her altar to be lighted ever day atmass when the canonical hours used to be sung, and to the intent that,for this terrestrial light, he might enjoy that which is eternal.' Arumour, however, reached England of the earls having been lost, andHubert de Burgh, with the concurrence of the king, provided a suitor forhis supposed widow, but the lady, in the interim, having received lettersfrom her husband, rejected the suit with indignation. The earl soonafter came to the king at Marlborough and, being received with great joy,he preferred a strong complaint against Hubert de Burgh, adding that,unless the king would do him right therein, he should vindicate himselfotherwise to the disturbance of the public peace.

| Note | William Longespee became Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife. In thebeginning of King John's reign this nobleman was sheriff of Wiltshire, hewas afterwards warden of the marches of Wales, and then sheriff of thecounties of Cambridge and Huntingdon. About this period (14th John )[1213], the baronial contest commencing, William Longespee at onceespoused the royal cause and maintained it so stoutly that he wasincluded by the barons amongst the evil councillors of the crown. Thenext year he was again constituted sheriff of Wilts and he held theoffice from that time during the remainder of his life. He had also agrant of the honour of Eye, in Suffolk, and was the same year a witnessto the agreement made between King John and the barons as guarantee forthe former. He was likewise a witness to the charter whereby Johnresigned his kingdom to the Pope. After this we find him a principalleader in the royal army until the very close of John's reign, when heswerved in his loyalty and joined, for a short period, the ranks of Lewisof France. Upon the accession, however, of Henry III [1216], he didhomage to that monarch, particularly for the county of Somerset, whichthe king then gave him; and joining with William Marshall. governor ofthe king and kingdom, raised the siege of Lincoln when he was constitutedsheriff of Lincolnshire and governor of Lincoln Castle, being invested atthe same time with sheriff of the co. of Somerset, and governorship ofthe castle of Shirburne. His lordship soon afterwards accompanied theEarl of Chester to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damieta, inwhich the crescent triumphed. He served subsequently in the Gascon wars,whence returning to England, Dugdale relates, 'there arose so great atempest at sea that, despairing of life, he threw his money and richapparel overboard. But when all hopes were passed, they discerned amighty taper of wax burning bright at the prow of the ship and abeautiful woman standing by it who preserved it from wind and rain sothat it gave a clear and bright lustre. Upon sight of which heavenlyvision both himself and the mariners concluded of their future security,but everyone there being ignorant what this vision might portend exceptthe earl, he, however, attributed it to the benignity of the blessedvirgin by reason that, upon the day when he was honoured with the girdleof knighthood, he brought a taper to her altar to be lighted ever day atmass when the canonical hours used to be sung, and to the intent that,for this terrestrial light, he might enjoy that which is eternal.' Arumour, however, reached England of the earls having been lost, andHubert de Burgh, with the concurrence of the king, provided a suitor forhis supposed widow, but the lady, in the interim, having received lettersfrom her husband, rejected the suit with indignation. The earl soon aftercame to the king at Marlborough and, being received with great joy, hepreferred a strong complaint against Hubert de Burgh, adding that, unlessthe king would do him right therein, he should vindicate himselfotherwise to the disturbance of the public peace.

In 1039, Gwynedd and Powys came into his possessionafter he had killed Iago ab Idwal, the great-grandson of Idwal abAnarawd. He then sought to seize Deheubarth but his ambition wasthwarted by another Gruffudd, the son of Rhydderch ap Iestyn, who hadbeen king of Deheubarth between 1023 and 1033. Deheubarth did not comefirmly into his possession until 1055, when he encompassed the death ofGruffudd ap Rhydderch. A year or two later Gruffudd ap Llywelyn seizedGlamorgan, driving out its ruler, Cadwgan ap Meurig of the line of Hywelap Rhys. Thus, from about 1057 until his death in 1063, the whole ofWales recognized the kingship of Gruffudd ap Llywelyn. For about sevenbrief years, Wales was one, under one ruler, a feat with neitherprecedent nor successor.1 | |

| Note* | Harald I, byname HARALD FAIRHAIR, or FINEHAIR, Norwegian HARALD HÅRFAGER,Old Norse HARALD HÁRFAGRI (b. c. 860--d. c. 940), the first king to claimsovereignty over all Norway. One of the greatest of the 9th-centuryScandinavian warrior chiefs, he gained effective control of Norway'swestern coastal districts but probably had only nominal authority in theother parts of Norway. The son of Halvdan the Black, ruler of part of southeastern Norway and ascion of the Yngling dynasty, the ancient royal house of Sweden, Haraldsucceeded his father at the age of 10. His first conquest came with thesuppression of a revolt in the Uplands region. A pact with Haakon, earlof Lade, enabled him to pursue conquest of the western districts,culminating in the battle of Hafrsfjord, dated 872 by medieval historiansbut placed 10 to 20 years later by modern historians. Harald's conquests and taxation system led many chiefs and theirfollowers to emigrate to the British Isles, adjacent lands, and perhapsto Iceland, which first became known to Scandinavians during the era ofHarald's rule. He acquired wealth through his control of coastal tradebut ruled indirectly through lesser chieftains in areas other than hisown tightly controlled home district, in the southwest. His majorgovernmental contribution lay in the development of provincialadministrations (lagtings). The most reliable information on Harald's life is contained incontemporary poems written down in Iceland in the 13th century. Hiscareer is also described in 12th- and 13th-century Icelandic andNorwegian historical works of questionable reliability, the fullestaccount being written by the Icelander Snorri Sturluson (d. 1241) in theHeimskringla.
