1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
“ROGER DE QUINCY, Knt., 2nd Earl of Winchester, of Ware, Hertfordshire, Eynesbury, Keyston and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Belgrave, Burton Overy, Braunstone, Galby, King's Norton, and Laughton, Leicestershire, Shipton (in Shipton-on-Cherwell), Oxfordshire, Seckington, Warwickshire, etc., and Leuchars, Fife, Scotland, and, in right of his 1st wife, hereditary Constable of Scotland, 2nd but eldest surviving son. He married (1st) ELLEN OF GALLOWAY, 2nd but let surviving daughter and co-heiress of Alan Fitz Roland, Lord of Galloway, hereditary Constable of Scotland, by his 1st wife, ___, daughter of Roger de Lacy, Knt., of Pontefract, Yorkshire, hereditary Constable of Chester [see LACY 2.iii for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included the manor of Kippax, Yorkshire. They had three daughters, Margaret (or Margery), Elizabeth (or Isabel), and Ellen. He was excommunicated with his father by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. He was presumably on Crusade at Damietta at the time of his father's death in 1219. His eldest brother, Robert, then being dead, Roger did homage and received livery of his father's lands 16 Feb. 1221. In 1222 he served as a captain in the king's army in Poitou. In 1230 his niece, Margaret de Quincy, wife of John de Lacy, released her claim to the main Quincy inheritance to him; in return he granted to John and Margaret and their issue her mother, Hawise's dower, including the manor of Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, to hold of him and his heirs. In 1233 a notification of Walter, Archbishop of York, stated that the priory of St. John of Pontefract had recovered the advowson of Kippax, Yorkshire against Roger de Quincy in an assize of darrein presentment. He succeeded to the earldom of Winchester in 1235 on his mother's death. In 1235 the Gallwegians, being opposed to the partition of Alan of Galloway's dominions among his three daughters (including Roger's wife, Ellen), petitioned King Alexander II to make Alan's illegitimate son, Thomas, their overlord. The king rejected the petition, and an insurrection took place, but was soon suppressed. He presented to a mediety of the church of Croxton, Leicestershire, 1235, and to the churches of Markfield, Leicestershire, 1254, 1257; Laughton, Leicestershire, 1248, 1254, 1258, 1269; and Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire, 1261. In 1237 he had license to import corn and victuals from Ireland through a merchant named Erskin of Kirkcudbright in Scotland. In 1239 he joined other nobles in writing a letter of remonstrance to Pope Gregory IX, complaining of the Pope's infringement of the rights of English patrons. Roger served with the king in Guienne in 1242. His wife, Ellen, was living 21 Nov. 1245. She was buried at BracIdey, Northamptonshire. In 1246 he again joined in a letter sent to the pope with reference to the grievances of England against the Roman see. On the death of his wife's sister, Christian, Countess of Aumale, in 1246, he obtained a further portion of Galloway in right of his wife. He ruled the chiefs there with great severity; they rose against him in 1247, and besieged him in one of his castles. Preferring a quick death by the sword to a lingering one of starvation, he suddenly caused the gates to be thrown open, and almost unattended, cut his way through the besiegers, and rode until he reached the court of the King of the Scots. King Alexander punished the rebels and re-established Roger in his possessions. About 1250 Roger quitclaimed to the church of St. Mary and St. Nicholas, Littlemore, Oxfordshire the suit of his court at Chinnor, Oxfordshire, required for the 18 acres in the fields of Svdenham, Oxfordshire, which the said nuns of Littlemore had of the gift of Saher de Quincy his father. He married (2nd) before 12 June 1250 MAUD DE BOHUN, widow of Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal, hereditary Steward of Leinster (died at Chepstow 22, 23, or 24 Dec. 1245) [see MARSHAL 3.v], and daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Knt., Earl of Hereford and Essex, hereditary Constable of England, by Maud, daughter of Raoul (or Ralph) d'Exoudun, 7th Count of Eu. They had no issue. About 1250 he witnessed a charter of Richard de Harcourt, Knt., of Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire in favor of his son, William de Harcourt [see BOHUN 6 for her ancestry]. His wife, Maud, died at Groby (in Ratby), Leicestershire 20 October 1252, and was buried at Brackley, Northamptonshire. In the period, 1252-7, he exchanged the manors of Kippax and Scholes and the advowson of the church of Kippax, Yorkshire with his great nephew, Edmund de Lacy, for the manor of Elmsall (in South Kirkby), Yorkshire. He married (3rd) shortly before 17 Jan. 1252/3 ELEANOR DE FERRERS, widow of William de Vaux, of Tharston and Houghton, Norfolk (died testate shortly before 5 Dec. 1252), and daughter of William de Ferrers, Knt., 5th Earl of Derby, by his lst wife, Sibyl, 3rd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see FERRERS 7 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. Eleanor was co-heiress in 1245 to her uncle, Anselm Marshal, 9th Earl of Pembroke. In 1253 he granted the manor of Ware, Hertfordshire to his younger brother, Robert de Quincy, to hold of him and his heirs at the yearly rent of half a mark and by service of a knight's fee. In 1257 the king appointed him a joint commissioner for composing the disputes between King Alexander III of Scotland and certain of Alexander's nobles. He fought in Wales 1258, and the same year, was one of the twenty-four elected by the Barons for the observance of the Provisions of Oxford. About 1260 he granted a charter to the burgesses of Brackley, Northamptonshire, and made many gifts to the Hospital there, including that of a sarcophagus, 1240, to lie on the right side of the heart of his mother, Margaret de Quincy, and to be filled three times a year with winnowed corn for the use of the Hospital. About 1264 he granted Nicholas de Clacmanan, the king's brewer, the whole land of the constabulary of Clacmannan. At an unknown date, he granted to the monks of Lindores Abbey that they and their men should have a free road through the middle of his wood at Kinloch near Collessie and through the whole of his land as far as to the moor of Eden for heather and through the middle of the moor for peats. At an unknown date, he likewise confirmed the grant of his father to St. Andrews Priory of three silver marks annually from the mill of Leuchars, Fife. SIR ROGER DE QUINCY, 2nd Earl of Winchester, Constable of Scotland, died 25 April 1264, and was probably buried at Brackley, Northamptonshire. His widow, Eleanor, married (3rd) before 8 Sept. 1267 (as his 2nd wife) ROGER DE LEYBOURNE, Knt., of Elham, Kent, Steward of the King's Household, Warden of the Cinque Ports, Sheriff of Kent, Warden of the Forests beyond Trent, son of Roger de Leybourne, of Leybourne, Kent, by Eleanor, daughter and co-heiress of Stephen de Turnham. SIR ROGER DE LEYBOURNE died 5 Nov. 1271. Eleanor, Countess of Winchester, died 16 October 1274.

The first mentioned countess died on the 20th of Oct., and was buried at Brackley, where the earl's former wife was also buried. The house at that place had been founded by his ancestors; and for those reasons he chose it for his wife's burial-place.

He married (1st) MAUD OF EU, daughter of Raoul (or Ralph) d'Exoudun (or d'Issoudun), Count of Eu, Baron of Hastings, Sussex, and seigneur of Issoudun, Melte, Chize, and la Mothe-Saint-Heray, in Poitou, by Alice, daughter of Henry, 6th Count of Eu, Baron of Hastings, Sussex [see EU 7 for her ancestry]. They had four sons, Humphrey, Knt., Henry, Knt., Geoffrey, and [Master] Ralph (clerk), and four daughters, Maud, Alice, Eleanor, and Mary. After Humphrey's father's death in 1220, William Briwerre had custody of Caldicot, Monmouthshire and Walton, Surrey. The following year, Humphrey had livery of Caldicot Castle and all lands held in chief, the king having taken his homage. In Easter term 1226 he sued his mother and stepfather, Maud and Roger de Dauntsey, regarding the manor of Heddington, Wiltshire. The same term he also sued Ela, Countess of Salisbury, regarding lands in Bishopstrow, East Coulston, Manningford Bruce (in Wilsford), Newton Tony, Staverton (in Trowbridge), Trowbridge, and Wilsford, Wiltshire. He joined Richard, Earl of Cornwall, in his quarrel with the king in 1227. In 1228/9 he had aquittance for 15-1/5 fees of the moiety of the fees of Trowbridge, Wiltshire. He fought in France in 1230, in Gascony in 1242 and 1253, and in Wales in 1257. In 1234 the king thanked him and Richard de Argentein for the diligence which they applied in seizing into the king's hands the castle of Pevensey, Sussex. At the Coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236, he was Marshal of the Household. He succeeded his mother as 7th Earl of Essex in 1236. In 1237 he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago in Spain. He presented to the churches of Thoreby, Lincolnshire, 1237, and Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, 1242, and to the chapel of Kirnbolton, Huntingdonshire, 1239. He stood sponsor at the baptism of Edward I in 1239. His wife, Maud, died 14 August 1241, and was buried at Llanthony Abbey near Gloucester. He married (2nd) MAUD DE AVENBURY, presumably sister of Walter, Osbert, and [Master] Giles de Avenbury. They had two sons, John, Knt., and Miles, Knt. In 1242 he was in the expedition to France, but returned because of the king's foreign favorites. In 1242 Ralph de Mortimer and his wife, Gwladus, sued him in a plea of land and dower. He granted the tithes of Wilsford, Wiltshire to Farleigh Priory about 1243. In 1244 the cause of the Welsh rebellion is assigned to his having kept in his hand the inheritance of the wife of David ap Llywelyn, Prince of North Wales. In 1246 he joined in the letter of remonstrance from the English peers to Pope Innocent IV. He was present at the Great Council of 1248. In 1249 he was summoned to answer Lettice de Keynes on a plea demanding what right he demands common of pasture in her land of Somerford, Wiltshire.

In 1250 he took the cross and went to the Holy Land as a crusader. In 1252 he spoke in defense of Simon de Montfort. The next year he was present at the renewal of the charters and the solemn excommunication of the transgressors. In 1253 he and his eldest son, Humphrey, had license to hunt hare, fox, cat and other wild beasts in the forests of Bradon and Savernake, Wiltshire. In 1258 he was one of the 24 councillors to draw up the Provisions of Oxford, being chosen one of the original commissioners, and subsequently one of the council of fifteen. The same year he was appointed chief Ambassador to Scotland. In 1259 he was the king's representative for the preservation of peace between France and England. In 1260 he served as a justice itinerant for the counties of Gloucester, Worcester, and Hereford. Sometime after 1260, he reached settlement of a dispute with MaLtnesbury Abbey regarding common rights in Flisteridge Wood, Wiltshire. Sometime after 1260, he also gave to Malmesbury Abbey his tenement and lands south of a brook called Ikemere in the fields of Crudwell, Wiltshire, in return for the keeping of an obit for himself and his second wife, Maud. In the struggle of 1263/4 he took the side of the king. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. His 2nd wife, Maud, died at Sorges in Gascony 8 October 1273, where she was buried. In 1275 he obtained a dispensation from the Bishop of Worcester to eat meat on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays during Lent. SIR HUMPHREY DE BOHUN, Earl of Hereford and Essex, died testate 24 Sept. 1275, and was buried before the high altar in the chapel of St. Kyneburg at Llanthony Abbey outside Gloucester. In 1290 the remains of his second wife, Maud, were removed from France by her son, John de Bohun, and reburied at Llanthony Abbey beside her husband.
