Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester (c.1195 – 25 April 1264[1][2]), Hereditary 
Constable of Scotland, was an Anglo-Norman nobleman prominent in England and 
Scotland.

He was the second son and eventual heir of Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester 
by his wife Margaret de Beaumont (died 1235). He bore arms different from his 
father's.

He probably joined his father on the Fifth Crusade in 1219, where the elder de Quincy 
fell sick and died. Since his elder brother had died a few years earlier, he inherited his 
father's titles and estates, though he did not take possession of the estates until 
February 1221, probably due to his absence on crusade. He did not formally become 
earl until after the death of his mother in 1235.[citation needed]

De Quincy married three times but produced no male children. His first marriage was to 
Helen of Galloway (c.1208-1245), the eldest of the three daughters and co-heiress of 
Alan, Lord of Galloway. Helen's share of her paternal inheritance, which passed to her 
husband, was the office of Hereditary Constable of Scotland and one-third of the 
lordship of Galloway. The peerage title of Lord of Galloway, however, went through 
Helen's half-sister Devorguilla to her husband John Balliol, with part of the de Morville 
lands in Lauderdale.[3] By Helen of Galloway, de Quincy had three daughters and 
co-heiresses:
Helen, who married Alan la Zouche, Lord Zouche of Ashby;
Elizabeth (or Isabel), who married Alexander Comyn, 2nd Earl of Buchan.
Margaret (or Margery), who married William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby and was thus 
stepmother to her own stepmother.

De Quincy's second marriage was in about 1250 to Maud de Bohun (died 1252), 
daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford, who died two years later. 
Thirdly in 1252 he married Eleanor de Ferrers, daughter of William de Ferrers, 5th Earl 
of Derby. Neither of these marriages produced any children.

From his first marriage he inherited the office of Hereditary Constable of Scotland and 
one-third of the lordship of Galloway, and ruled his portion of Galloway strictly. The 
Galwegians rebelled under Gille Ruadh, not wanting their land divided, but the 
rebellion was suppressed by King Alexander II of Scotland. The Galwegians revolted 
again in 1247, forcing de Quincy to take refuge in a castle. Faced with a siege and 
little chance of relief, he and a few men fought their way out and rode off to seek help 
from Alexander, who raised forces to suppress the rebellion. In the following years de 
Quincy was one of the leaders of the baronial opposition to King Henry III of England, 
although he fought for Henry against the Welsh in the 1250s and 1260s.

He died without male children and therefore the earldom of Winchester became 
extinct. His estates were divided between his three daughters and co-heiresses.
