1102. Salford-Manchester
William
Peverel,
Lord of Nottingham, a natural son of William the Conqueror, succeeded to
some of the possessions of Roger of Poictou, including the hundred and
town of Salford. It is under his rule that Albert Gresley received his
grant of lands forming the greater proportion of the barony of Manchester.
Gresley is, however, said to have been a favourite of Roger Pictavensis,
and is thought to have held the barony from 1086 to 1100.
