Thomas Salisbury

Sir Thomas Salisbury (or Salusbury) (1564 – 21 September 1586) was one of the conspirators executed for his involvement in the Babington Plot.

Salisbury was the elder son of Katheryn of Berain and her first husband, Sir John Salusbury, and was the heir to the Lleweni Estate.

[1] Salisbury did not assent to the marriage, and the couple were estranged for a period prior to the birth of their daughter Margaret.

Salisbury's daughter Margaret would eventually inherit Berain, whereas Lleweni went to Thomas's younger brother, Sir John Salusbury.

In 1580, Salisbury joined a group of other young Catholic gentlemen in loyalty to Mary, Queen of Scots.
