Rise To Prominence
The Salusbury family first came to prominence after they arrived as vassals of William the Conqueror in 1066. They were first given grants of land from the crown in Shropshire, which, though initially small, expanded dramatically after the family assisted in the Conquest of Wales under Edward I. The family was first officially recognized by the crown during the reign of Henry VII after Thomas Salusbury put down a rebellion in Cornwall.
