CECIL , the name of a famous See also:English See also:family. This See also:house, whose two branches hold each a marquessate, had a See also:great statesman and See also:administrator to establish and enrich it. The first See also:Lord See also:Burghley's many inquiries concerning the origin of his family created for it more than one splendid and improbable See also:genealogy, although his grandfather is the first ascertained ancestor. In the latter See also:half of the 15th See also:century a family of yeomen or small gentry with the surname of Seyceld, whose descendants were accepted by Lord Burghley as his kinsmen, lived on their lands at Alit yr Ynys in Walterstone, a See also:Hereford-See also:shire See also:parish on the Welsh See also:marches.

James I., the second Lord Burghley was more soldier than statesman, and from his death to the See also:present See also:day the See also:elder See also:line of the Cecils has taken small See also:part in public affairs. William Cecil, 2nd earl of Exeter, took as his first wife the Lady Roos, daughter and heir of the 3rd earl of Rutland of the See also:Manners family. The son of this marriage inherited the See also:barony of Roos as heir See also:general, and died as a See also:Roman See also:Catholic at See also:Naples in 1618 leaving no issue. A third son of the 1st earl was Edward Cecil, a somewhat incompetent military See also:commander, created in 1625 Lord Cecil of Putney and See also:Viscount See also:Wimbledon, titles that died with him in 1638, although he was thrice married. In 18o1 a marquessate was given to the loth earl of Exeter, the See also:story of whose marriage with Sarah Hoggins, daughter of a See also:Shropshire husbandman,. has been refined by See also:Tennyson into the See also:romance of " The Lord of Burleigh." This elder line is still seated at Burghley, the great See also:mansion built by their ancestor, the first lord.
The younger or See also:Hatfield line was founded by Robert Cecil, the only surviving son of the great Burghley's second marriage. As a secretary of state he followed in his father's steps, and on the death of Elizabeth he may be said to have secured the See also:accession of King James,who created him Lord Cecil of Essendine (1603), Viscount Cranborne (1604), and earl of Salisbury (16o5). Forcedbytheking to See also:exchange his house of Theobalds for Hatfield, he died in 1612, worn out with incessant labour, before he could inhabit the house which he built upon his new See also:Hertfordshire See also:estate. Of Burghley and his son Salisbury, "great ministers of state in the eyes of Christendom," See also:Clarendon writes that " their See also:wisdom and virtues died with them." The 2nd earl of Salisbury, " a See also:man of no words, except in See also:hunting and hawking," was at first remarked for his obsequiousness to the court party, but taking no part in the See also:Civil See also:War came at last to sit in the Protector's parliament. After the Restoration, See also:Pepys saw him, old and discredited, at Hatfield, and notes him as " my See also:simple Lord Salisbury." The 7th earl was created See also:marquess of Salisbury In 1789.
Hatfield House, a great Jacobean mansion which has suffered much from restoration and rebuilding, contains in its library the famous See also:series of state papers which passed through the hands of Burghley and his son Salisbury, invaluable See also:sources for the See also:history of their See also:period.
