Fr. ataindre, ateindre, to attain, i.e. to strike, accuse, condemn; Lat. attingere, tangere, to touch; the meaning has been greatly affected by the confusion with Fr. taindre, teindre, to taint, stain, Lat. tingere, to dye)
attainder in 1478 this title was forfeited, and immediately afterwards was granted to Edward Plantagenet, eldest son of Richard duke of See also:Gloucester, afterwards Richard III., on whose death in 1484 it became See also:extinct.
Richard III.'s See also:queen, See also:Anne, was a See also:sister of the above-mentioned Isabel, duchess of Clarence, and co-heiress with her of Richard Neville, earl of Salisbury. On the death of Queen Anne in 1485 the abeyance of the older creation terminated, Edward Plantagenet, eldest son of George duke of Clarence by Isabel Neville, becoming earl of Salisbury as successor to his See also:mother's right. He was attainted in 1504, five years after his See also:execution, but the earldom then forfeited was restored to his sister Margaret (1474-1541), widow of Sir Richard See also:Pole, in 1513. This See also:lady was also attainted, with See also:forfeiture of her titles, in 1539.
Sir See also:Robert See also:Cecil, second son of the 1st Lord See also:Burghley (q.v.), was created earl of Salisbury (1605), having no connexion in blood with the former holders of the title. (See SALISBURY, ROBERT CECIL, 1ST EARL ox.) In his family the earldom has remained till the See also:present See also:day, the 7th earl of the line having been created See also:marquess of Salisbury in 1789.
