‪ Edward III created William de Monte Acuto as earl of Salisbury by his letters patent dated Westminster 16 May 1337, and granted him £20 yearly from the issues of Wiltshire [CChR 1327–1341, p. 399].n057 William was seised of £20 rent in demesne as of fee and died seised of this estate.

After his death, the rent descended to John de Monte Acuto , late earl, his kin and heir as the son of John brother of William. John was seised in demesne as of fee and had issue: Thomas, late earl . John died seised of this estate with Thomas, his son, then a minor. In the Parliament held at Westminster on the octave of Hilary 1401, John was condemned as traitor and forfeited all lands and tenements that he held in fee simple from 5 January 1400 onwards [Rot. Parl. iii, p. 459]. At the Parliament held at Westminster on 1 March 1406, it was judged that the king should have the forfeiture reserved to him of any lands that John held alone, heritable or purchased, those of which others were conjointly enfeoffed with him, or those of which others were enfeoffed to his use, by fine or in any way whatsoever [Rot. Parl. iii, p. 599a]. At the Parliament held at Westminster on the octave of Martin 1414, the judgement of 1401 was held to be just [Rot. Parl. iv, pp. 35–6] but, notwithstanding these judgements, at a Parliament held at Westminster on 2 May 1421, Thomas was accepted as heir of the blood of John, that he should carry his dignities as such, and should be restored to those forfeit lands, entailed or conditional [Rot. Parl. iv, p. 141–2]. Thomas thus held
