occupants is given. A very
large indenture on vellum measuring 2 feet 7 inches by 2 feet 3 inches. In
good condition except for a tear at one of the creases, being a little grubby
with some discolouration due to age. The words are large and clear and are
fairly readable although the spelling of certain words is more difficult to
ascertain. There is a great deal of information about family history and
details regarding extensive amounts of land, which would be of interest to
genealogists and local historians alike. The manuscript also benefits from
the unusual extra ornate decoration around the words This Indenture. On the
side there are three blue six pence stamps with a piece of silver attached.
At the base four signatures with red wax seals each showing an upside-down
eagle. In
addition this manuscript has a further two indentures attached to it, both
measuring 1 foot 6 inches by 8 inches. These two, both copies of each other,
are part of a set of three that repeat some of the information in the primary
indenture. Although now attached behind one another the tops of both
indentures join together and are further indented on the side where the third
piece would join. |

(Roger de, second earl of Winchester, constable of Scotland, ?1195-1265)
Quitclaim to Master Peter de Wylebi, clerk, his heirs and assignees, of all
suit and view of frankpledge which he made to the earl twice a year at his
court of the honour of Leicester, by reason of a tenement of 100 shillings of
silver he held of the earl's fee, manuscript on vellum, in Latin, 12 lines,
folds, slightly creased, green wax seal of de Quincy featuring a knight armed
on horseback, loss of most of border and background, however with the detail
of the knight on horseback in a remarkable state of preservation, framed and
glazed, 130 x 195mm., [c. 1235-64]. Roger
de Quincy or Quency, second son of Saer de Quincy, first earl of Winchester,
inherited his father’s patrimony on the death of his elder brother in 1221.
He did not succeed to his father’s earldom until the death of his mother in
1235. By his marriage to Helen, eldest daughter of and coheiress of Alan,
lord of Galloway he became constable of Scotland. Although de Quincy had
substantial lands in both kingdoms it was in the service of Henry III that he
spent most of his time, serving in Poitou in 1222 and Guienne in 1242. In
1257 the king appointed him a joint commissioner for composing the disputes
between Alexander III and his nobles, in reality the dispute between Alan
Durward who favoured English influence and the Comyns. De Quincy was involved
in the disputes between Henry III and his magnates which resulted in the
provisions of Oxford and was appointed one of the twenty-four commissioners
to treat of aid to the king. In 1259 he accompanied Walter, bishop of
Worcester and others to St. Omer where he met Richard of Cornwall (Henry
III’s brother) and forbade him entry to the realm until he had sworn to
uphold the provisions of Oxford. Earl Roger died in 1264. |
