Excerpt from The Cecil Family Tm, house of Cecil rose into eminence in the middle of the sixteenth century, for the latter half of which Lord Burghley was the foremost states man in England. His sons, Thomas, Earl of Exeter, and Robert, Earl of Salisbury, founded the two branches of the family which still have their seats at Burghley and Hatfield. After the death of Lord Salisbury in 1612, no Cecils with any great claims to distinction appeared in either branch until the middle of the nineteenth century, when the late Marquess of Salisbury, the greater Cecil of a greater Queen, arose to prove that the spirit of his ancestor was only dormant.
