1st Earl of Winchester.
Was a Baron present at Lincoln when
William the Lion of Scotland did homage to the English monarch in October 1200. He obtained
large grants and immunities from King John and was created Earl of Winchester, 2 March 1207,
having been governor in 1203 of the Castle of Ruil in Normandy. He is created with rewriting
Magna Charta from the Charter of King Henry I and the Saxon Code. Because he had opposed
the King s concession to the Pope s legate, he was bitterly hated by King John. One of the Barons
to whom the City and Tower of London were resigned, Saire de Quincey was excommunicated
with the other Barons the following year.
He was sent, with Robert FitzWalter, the Surety, by the
other Barons, to invite the Dauphin of France to assume the Crown of England and, even after the
death of King John, he kept a strong garrison in Montsorell Castle in behalf of Prince Louis. When
the Barons, being greatly outnumbered, were defeated by the troops of King Henry III, Saire de
Quincey, with many others, was made prisoner and his estates forfeited. In the following October
his immense estates were restored upon his submission. In 1218 the Earl of Winchester went with
the Earls of Chester and Arundel to the Holy Land, assisted at the siege of Damietta in 1219, and
died 3 November in the same year, on the way to Jerusalem.
Saire de Quincey is associated with two stalwart Castles in the South of England: Colchester Castle and
Winchester Castle, both with the Latin castrum root, signifying that they were once the site of Roman forts
