Research Notes:
From Wikipedia - Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester:
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, who took part in the rebellion of Henry the Young King 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.
By his wife Margaret de Beaumont, Saer de Quincy had three sons and three daughters: Lorette who married Sir William de Valognes Arabella who married Sir Richard Harcourt Robert (d. 1217). Some sources say he married Hawise, sister and co-heiress of Ranulf de Blundeville, earl of Chester . However, it is more likely Hawise married Saer's brother Robert II; Roger , who succeeded his father as earl of Winchester (though he did not take formal possession of the earldom until after his mother's death); Robert de Quincy (second son of that name; d. 1257) who married Helen , daughter of the Welsh prince Llywelyn the Great ; Hawise, who married Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford .
Orabilis married Robert de Quincy Lord of Buckley and of Fawside, son of Saer I de Quincy Lord of Daventry and Maud de St. Liz, before 1170. (Robert de Quincy Lord of Buckley and of Fawside died before 1197.)
