Surname, de Quincy.
(Jody Gray) The best introduction to the de Quincy Family I’ve found is from Saer aka Saher de Quincy’s wikipedia page. *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saer_de_Quincy,_1st_Earl_of_Winchester
Family. The family of de Quincy had arrived in England after the Norman Conquest (1066), and took their name from Cuinchy in the Arrondissement of Bethune; but the personal name “Saer” was used by them over several generations. Both names are variously spelt in primary sources and older modern works, the first name being sometimes rendered Saher or Seer, and the surname as Quency or Quenci.
Robert de Quincy seems to have inherited no English lands from his father, and pursued a knightly career in Scotland, where he is recorded from 1160 as a close companion of his cousin, King William the Lion [1165-1214]. By 1170 he had married Orabilis, heiress of the Scottish lordship of Leuchars and, through her, he became lord of an extensive complex of estates north of the border which included lands in Fife, Strathearn and Lothian.
Saer de Quincy, the son of Robert de Quincy and Orabilis of Leuchars, was raised largely in Scotland. His absence from English records for the first decades of his life has led some modern historians and genealogists to confuse him with his uncle, Saer II [b. 1138 d. 1190] who took part in the rebellion of Henry the Young King [1170-1183] in 1173, when the future Earl of Winchester can have been no more than a toddler. Saer II’s line ended without direct heirs, and his nephew and namesake would eventually inherit his estate, uniting his primary Scottish holdings with the family’s Northamptonshire patrimony, and possibly some lands in France.

(Jody Gray) I have spent an enormous amount of time researching the Seton Family because of the importance of Walter aka Seier ‘the Fleming’ de Seton. Below, references to Jonet de Quincy taken from my Seton Family Blog Posts (links follow).
In the Duns edition of Maitland the following words are interpolated in the second paragraph: quha maruit Jonet Quintsey, doghter to Roger Quintsey, Earle of Wintoun, Constabule of Scotland.
Lord Kingston amplifies this statement by adding that Dougall married Janet “Quintsey”, daughter of Roger, Earl of Winton, Constable of Scotland.
But, as Roger Earl of Winton only became Constable in right of his wife Helen of Galloway in 1234, and only succeeded his mother the Countess Margaret in the Earldom of Winchester after her death in 1235, it is obvious his daughter could not have married Dougall, -who lived a century earlier.
It is however conceivable that, if Dougal did marry a Janet de Quincy, she may have been sister or aunt of Sir Roger.
The fact that Dougal’s son was named “Seher”, a de Quincy name, certainly supports the family tradition of blood relationship; and to this must be added the fact that since the time of Seher de Seton the main line of the Setons have borne as their crest a Dragon or Wyvern identical with the de Quincy cognisance.

http://www.robertsewell.ca/longbuckby.html Long Buckby Castle. Little is known of the history of Long Buckby; but archaeological evidence suggests that it was built by 1150 AD. At this time, the De Quincy family held the manor. Like other Norman overlords they may have built the castle to control their newly acquired estates following the Norman Conquest. Occupation of the castle is thought to have ended sometime after 1200 AD.
Many Norman Castles were built of earth and wood and were defended by a timber wall built on an earth bank surrounded by a ditch or moat. The timber wall was plastered to resemble stone. Some of these castles were gradually replaced with stone structures… "Northampton Archaeology Unit" -credited for the drawing and information about the Castle.
http://www.robertsewell.ca/dequincy.html#gen1 de quincy. Generation One. Saher de Quincy (I) of Buckby and Daventry d. ca 1156-58; was the tenant of Anselm de Chokes at Long Buckby, co. Northampton in (probably) 1124-29.

(Jody Gray) I'm adding information about Fife, Perth, Strathearn and Lothian as a representation of Robert's lands acquired by marriage and his family relationship to William the Lion (see, de Quincy, alliances, entry below) 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fife Fife, Scotland. A natural peninsula, is Scotland’s third largest local authority area by population. The historic town of St Andrews is located on the northeast coast of Fife. It is well known for the University of St Andrews, one of the most ancient universities in the world and is renowned as the home of golf.
Fife was an important royal and political centre from the reign of King Malcolm III onwards, as the leaders of Scotland gradually moved southwards away from their ancient strongholds around Scone. Malcolm had his principal home in Dunfermline and his wife Margaret was the main benefactor of Dunfermline Abbey; which replaced Iona as the final resting place of Scotland’s royal elite, with Robert I [the Bruce, King of Scots d. 1329] amongst those to be buried there [his body, his heart buried at Melrose Abbey].
The Earl of Fife was until the 15th century considered the principal peer of the Scottish realm, and was reserved the right of crowning the nation’s monarchs, reflecting the prestige of the area.
Strathearn and Perth (entries, below), are above Fife.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strathearn Strathearn, Scotland. Was bounded on the north by Atholl… south east by Fife, east by Perth. In medieval times, the sheriff based at Perth covered Strathearn as part of their duties. 19th century local government reforms placed the ancient provinces by new Counties (shires), Strathearn became the south-central part of Perthshire -it is now part of Perth and Kinross.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perth,_Scotland Perth, Scotland. Alexander I [1107-24] enhanced Perth’s early importance. It was considered the effective ‘capital’ of Scotland, due to the frequent residence of the royal court. Royal Burgh status was soon awarded to the city from King William the Lion in the early 12th century. During the 12th and 13th centuries, Perth was one of the richest trading burghs in the kingdom…
Lothian, is (across the estuary) below Fife
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothian Lothian, the principal settlement is the Scottish capital, Edinburgh, while other significant towns include, Linlithgow, North Berwick, Dunbar, Haddington. Historically, the term Lothian referred to a province encompassing most of which is now southeastern Scotland… It was annexed to the Kingdom of Scotland around the 10th century.

Saer aka Saher de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester b. 1170, Winchester, Hampshire, England. b. 11/3/1219, Damietta, Egypt.
Scottish Upbringing. Saer de Quincy’s immediate background was in the Scottish kingdom: his father, Robert de Quincy, was a knight in the service of King William the Lion 1165-1214, and his mother, Orabilis de Mar, was the heiress of the lordship of Leuchars in Fife (see below).
His own rise to prominence in England came through his marriage to Margaret, the younger sister of Robert de Beaumont, Earl of Leicester: but it is probably no coincidence that her other brother was the de Qunicy’s powerful Fife neighbor, Roger de Beaumont, Bishop of St Andrews. Earl Robert died in 1204, and left Margaret as co-heiress to the vast earldom along with her elder sister. The estate was split in half, and after the final division was ratified in 1207, de Quincy was made Earl of Winchester.
Earl of Winchester. Following his marriage, Winchester became a prominent military and diplomatic figure in England. There is no evidence of any close alliance with King John, however, and his rise to importance was probably due to his newly acquired magnate status and the family connections that underpinned it.
One man with whom he does seem to have developed a close personal relationship is his cousin, Robert Fitzwalter (d. 1235). In 1203, they served as co-commanders of the garrison at the major fortress of Vaudreuil in Normandy. The surrendered the castle without a fight to Philip II of France [1179/80-1223], fatally weakening the English position in northern France. Although popular opinion seems to have blamed them for the capitulation, a royal writ is extant stating that the castle was surrendered at King John’s command, and both Winchester and Fitzwalter endured personal humiliation and heavy ransoms at the hands of the French.
In Scotland, he was perhaps more successful. In 1211 to 1212, the Earl of Winchester commanded an imposing retinue of a hundred knights and a hundred serjeants in William the Lion’s campaign against the Mac William rebels, a force which some historians have suggested may have been the mercenary force from Brabant lent to the campaign by [King] John.
The Fifth Crusade. When military defeat cleared the way for Henry III to take the throne, de Quincy went on crusade… In 1219 he left to join the Fifth Crusade, then besieging Damietta. While in the east, he fell sick and died. He was buried in Acre, the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, rather than in Egypt, and his heart was brought back and interred at Garendon Abbey (Leicester, England) near Loughborough, a house endowed by his wife’s family.
Issue. By his wife Margaret de Beaumont, Earl Saer had three sons and three daughters:
Lora aka Lorette m: Sir William de Valognes, Chamberlain of Scotland
Arabella m: Sir Richard Harcourt
Robert (d. 1217) m(bef 1206): Hawise of Chester, 1st Countess of Lincoln, sister and co-heiress of Randolph de Blondeville, 4th Earl of Chester.

On her father’s death in 1234, he acquired her share of the paternal inheritance, which consisted of the hereditary office of Constable of Scotland and one-third of the lordship of Galloway. The title of Lord of Galloway, however, went through Helen’s half-sister Devorguilla to her husband John Balliol [father of John Balliol, King of Scots].
In 1235 the Galwegians rebelled under Gille Ruadh, not wanting their land divided, but the rebellion was suppressed by King Alexander II of Scotland. Further unrest in 1247… found de Quincy trapped in a castle, from which he escaped to obtain help from King Alexander in suppressing the rebellion…
In England he... was gradually drawn into the baronial opposition to the rule of King Henry III. He joined with other nobles in 1239 and 1246 in written remonstrances to the Pope about papal interference in English affairs. In 1258, he was elected by the barons to the twelve-member commission charged with overseeing the revised constitution of the Provisions of Oxford and was appointed also to the committee to arrange the financial aid promised to Henry. In 1259 he led a delegation to St Omer that forbade the King’s brother Richard, Earl of Cornwall from returning to England unless he swore to observe the Provisions of Oxford. After this de Quincy played little part in national affairs.
He died aged about 69 on 4/25/1264, eighteen days after the outbreak of civil war, and was buried at Brackley. Having no male heir, the earldom of Winchester became extinct and his estates were divided between the husbands of his three daughters.
Family. He married three times, leaving three daughters from his 1st marriage to Helen of Galloway: Margaret aka Margery m: William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby; Elizabeth aka Isabel m: Alexander Comyn, 2nd Earl of Buchan; Helen m: Alan de la Zouche. (Roger de Quincy) m2 (1250) Maud de Bohun, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford -no children. (Roger de Quincy) m3 (1252) Eleanor de Ferrers, daughter of William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby -no children.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brackley Brackley is a town in south Northamptonshire, England. (Brackley Castle) Originally held in 1086 by Earl Alberic. After this it passed to the Earl of Leicester, and to the families of De Quincy and Roland. Henry III attacked and destroyed the castle in 1173. It comprised a motte mound 10 feet high and approximately 44 yards in diameter with an outer bailey to the east. Archaeological excavation has revealed evidence of a ditch defining the perimeter of the bailey. The Town was the site of an important meeting between the barons and representative of the King [John of England] of 1215, the year of Magna Carta. Market day was on Sundays until 1218, when it was changed to Wednesdays...

*Index *Quincy, Sir Robert de Qynci [Quincy), 355, Note III (pg 439) Sir Roger de Sancto Andrea was a witness with “Sir Seer de Quincy, Earle of Wincestre,” [Saer de Quincy, Earl of Winchester] and others, to the grant by Hawise de Qynci [Hawise de Quincy -his daughter-in-law, spouse of his son, Robert de Quincy] in her widowhood to the brethren of the Holy House of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England of five merks of silver yearly during her life for the soul of Robert de Quinci, her late husband.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_High_Constable_of_Scotland The Lord High Constable of Scotland is a hereditary, now ceremonial, office of Scotland. In the order of precedence of Scotland, the office traditionally ranks above all titles except those of the Royal Family. The Lord High Constable was, after the King of Scots, the supreme officer of the Scottish army. He also performed judicial functions as the chief judge of the High Court of Constabulary…
The office became hereditary in the 12th Century and was held by the Comyn family, but they ended up on the wrong side in the Wars of Scottish Independence. Since then it has been held by the Hays of Erroll, later Earls of Erroll.
From 1234-1265, Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester held the office by his marriage to Helen, daughter of Alan Galloway who a leading Scottish magnate and one of the most influential men in the Kingdom of Scotland and Irish Sea zone; Roger received the hereditary office when Alan died in 1234.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisions_of_Oxford *Provisions of Oxford are often regarded as England’s first written constitution. Installed in 1258 by a group of barons led by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, the provisions forced King Henry III of England to accept a new form of government. The power to decide the form of this government was placed in the hands of a council of twenty-four members, twelve selected by the crown, twelve by the barons… a 15-member Privy Council to advise the king and oversee the entire administration. The selected men were to supervise the ministerial appointments, local administration and the custody of the royal castles. Parliament, meanwhile, which was to meet three times a year, would monitor the performance of the council...

Earls of Winchester. Robert b. 1217/19 d.

The Annals of Dunstable record that “Johannes comes Cestiae” died in 1237 and “eius uxor… filia Lewelini” married “Roberto [de Quinci]” against her father’s wishes. A writ after the death of “Eleanor, sometime the wife of Johnn Earl of Chester”, dated “the eve of St Martin 38 Hen III”, records the “partition of her lands between Si J. de Bayllol [John Balliol], Robert de Brus, and Henry de Hasting, the heirs of the said earl”.

Royal connections: Elen was ancestress of Queen consorts Anne Neville, consort of Richard III and daughter of Warwick, the Kingmaker, as well as Catherine Parr, the last wife of Henry VIII.
In Fiction. Child of the Phoenix by Barbara Erskine. Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay penman. Falls the Shadow by Sharon Kay Penman: In Penman’s version, Elen and Robert de Quincy were lovers, and she married him immediately on John’s death despite her father’s opposition.

Earls of Winchester. Saher II de Quincy ‘Seherus de Quinci” b. 1138 d. 1190/92. in 1166, recorded “Saerius de Quincy” held one and one half knights’ fees from “Roberti de Chokes” in Northamptonshire. (Jody Gray) I’m wondering if Roberti de Chokes is Robert de Cockburn.
(Jody Gray) he’s identified in the wikipedia page of Saer aka Saher de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester: *his uncle, Saer II, who took part in the rebellion of Henry the Young King in 1173… Saer II’s line ended without direct heirs, and his nephew and namesake would eventually inherit his estate, uniting his primary Scottish holdings with the family’s Northamptonshire patrimony, and possibly some lands in France.
