He married (1st) MAUD ___. They had no known issue. He was created Earl of Salisbury (or Wiltshire) about 1143; he occurs once as Earl of Wiltshire in the period, 1141-50. He witnessed a charter of Henry d'Oilly in the period, 1144-47. Sometime before 1148 he witnessed a charter of Roger Fitz Humphrey to the Templars. He married (2nd) probably in or before 1152 ELA (or ALA) OF PONTHIEU, widow of William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey (died 19 Jan. 1147/8) [see WARENNE 6], and daughter of Guillaume III Talvas, Count of Ponthieu and Alencon, by Ela, daughter of Eudes I Borel, Duke of Burgundy. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Salisbury], Patrick [Canon of Bradenstoke], Philip [Canon of Bradenstoke] and Roger. In 1153 he witnessed the treaty between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy [future King Henry II]. After the accession of King Henry II, he continued to act as Sheriff and was frequently at Court. He witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, John Marshal, to the Templars in 1155-6. At an unknown date, he gave Bradenstoke Priory the church of Wilcot, with its dependent chapel at Draycot Fitz Payne, as well as a portion of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire. He also exchanged the property in Wilsford, Wiltshire given by his father, for the rest of the manor of Wilcot, Wiltshire, and also gave a salt pit in Canford, Dorset. His wife, Countess Ela, gave the same priory land and rents in Hatherop, Gloucestershire worth 100s. yearly. In 1167 he accompanied King Henry II to Poitou, where the king assigned him to protect his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. PATRICK, Earl of Salisbury was slain about 7 April 1168 by Poitevin nobles while riding near the castle of Lusigan in Poitou with Queen Eleanor. He was buried in the Abbey of St.-Hilaire in Poitiers. Queen Eleanor and her son, Richard, subsequently founded an anniversary at St.-Hilaire for their salvation and for the soul of Earl Patrick "who died in our service." His widow, Ela, Countess of Salisbury, died 10 Dec. 1174.

Having taken part with the empress Maud in her struggle with Stephen, he was by her advanced to the dignity of Earl of Salisbury, and he occurs under that designation in the year 1165. Being lieutenant of Aquitaine for king Henry II., he went in pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint Iago in Gallicia; and on his way back was slain by Guy de Lusignan on the 27th March, 1168. His body was interred in the church of St. Hilary in Poictiers ... Patrick earl of Salisbury is supposed to have had two wives. Of one no more is known, except that "the soul of Matilda the countess, my wife" is recommended to the prayers of the canons of Bradenstoke in his charter to that priory. It is not improbable that his son Patrick, who occurs in another Bradenstoke charter, was the son of the countess Matilda. Earl Patrick's second wife was Ela, the widow of William earl Warren, who died in 1148 ... This Ela was the daughter of William Talvais comte of Ponthieu, by Helen, daughter of Odo duke of Burgundy. She died on the 10th Dec. 1174, having had issue, by her second marriage, William earl of Salisbury, and two or three younger sons, whose names alone are known from the monastic charters of Bradenstoke, Stanley, and Southwark.").

Patrick was made earl at some date between 1141 and 1147. He was not an earl in Reg. iii. 839, but is so styled in a charter of Henry d'Oilly given betore the death of Earl Robert of Gloucester (31 October 1147) (Salter, Eynsham Carlidary, i. 75 (no. 71), Oxford Hist.

His normal style was Earl of Salisbury, but in a charter of Henry fitz empress (1144-50) he was styled Earl of Wiltshire (Reg. iii. 704), and it may be assumed that, as in the case of Arundel-Chichester-Sussex, the titles were interchangeable.").
