The Salusbury family were established at Lleweni in the Vale of Clwyd before 1334. Thomas Salusbury killed at the battle of Barnet in 1471 was succeeded by his eldest son, Sir Thomas Salusbury (d. 1505) who fought at the battle of Blackheath in 1497 and was knighted by Henry VII, the first of many honours and officers which the family earned by their loyalty to the Tudor dynasty.
Sir John Salusbury's eldest son and heir, another John Salusbury (d. 1566), predeceased him by twelve years. He was the first husband of Catherine, only daughter and heiress of Tudur ap Robert of Berain in the parish of Llanefydd, Denbighshire. John's eldest son, Thomas Salusbury was executed for treason in 1586. John's heir was therefore his second son, John Salusbury (1567-1612). John left Lleweni to his son, Henry (1589-1632 who was created a baronet in 1619. The estate then descended in the male line until John Salusbury (d. 1684), the 4th and last baronet, who died without issue.
The estate passed to his sister, Hester (d. 1710), wife of Sir Robert Cotton of Combermere. Their great-great-grandson, Sir Robert Salusbury Cotton sold Lleweni to Thomas Fitzmaurice, brother of the 1st Marquess of Landsdowne in 1748.

Ardal cynnwys a strwythur
Natur a chynnwys
Records of the Lleweni estate, Denbighshire, and papers of the Salusbury family of Llewenni, consisting mainly of letters, deeds and other legal documents. The letters are mainly to or from members of the Salusbury family, 1546-1645, the greater number belonging to the last fifteen years of that period, and relating to Sir Thomas Salusbury, the second baronet. The letters are mainly family correspondence and business letters from estate agents, lawyers, and servants of the household. A few are in the nature of news-letters, particularly those written by James Lloyd, [c. 1640], when relations between Charles I and his Parliament were becoming strained. The deeds and legal documents, 1357-1800, relate to the Llewenni estate in Anglesey, Caernarfonshire, Denbighshire and Flintshire.
