Salusbury baronets

There have been multiple baronetcies created for the Salusbury family, although only one, Lleweni, has lasted for more than one generation. In 1619, Sir Henry Salusbury was made a baronet in the Baronetage of England. All of the baronets sat in the House of Commons at various stages in their life, typically representing Denbigh or, oddly as the Salusbury family had no connections in the region, Hertford.

The family also has the distinction of having had William Shakespeare dedicate a major poem, The Phoenix and the Turtle, to the loving relationship that the father of the first baronet had with his wife. Their seat was located at Lleweni Hall in Tremeirchion, Wales.

The last family member connected to the Lleweni baronetcy was Hester Piozzi, who was the daughter of the fourth baronet.
