History:
His singular christian name of Saher, or Saier, is a likely a corruption from the Saxon Segher, Sigher, or Seagar, a Conqueror. Eliza S. Quincy refers to him as "John de Quincy, created Earl of Winchester by King John, 1207."
In 1207, he was created the first Earl of Winchester.
In 1213, Saher de Quincy was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Charta, for which he was excommunicated. He was a leader of the Barons who forced John to sign the Magna Charta.
Saher married Margaret de Beaumont in 1175. Margaret (daughter of Sir Robert ès Blanchemains de Beaumont, Earl of Leicester and Pernel de Grantmesnil) died on 12 Jan 1635/36. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
