Notes:

John de Lacy (c. 1192 ? 22 July 1240) was the 2nd Earl of Lincoln, of the fourth creation. He was also the, 7th Baron of Pontefract, 8th Baron of Halton, 8th Lord of Bowland.

Background
He was the eldest son and heir of Roger de Lacy and his wife, Maud or Matilda de Clere (not of the de Clare family).

Public life
He was hereditary constable of Chester and, in the 15th year of King John, undertook the payment of 7,000 marks to the crown, in the space of four years, for livery of the lands of his inheritance, and to be discharged of all his father's debts due to the exchequer, further obligating himself by oath, that in case he should ever swerve from his allegiance, and adhere to the king's enemies, all of his possessions should devolve upon the crown, promising also, that he would not marry without the king's licence. By this agreement it was arranged that the king should retain the castles of Pontefract and Dunnington, still in his own hands; and that he, the said John, should allow 40 pounds per year, for the custody of those fortresses. But the next year he had Dunnington restored to him, upon hostages.

John de Lacy, 8th Baron of Halton Castle, 5th Lord of Bowland and hereditary constable of Chester, was one of the earliest who took up arms at the time of the Magna Charta, and was appointed to see that the new statutes were properly carried into effect and observed in the counties of York and Nottingham. He was one of twenty-five barons charged with overseeing the observance of Magna Carta in 1215.

He was excommunicated by the Pope. Upon the accession of King Henry III, he joined a party of noblemen and made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and did good service at the siege of Damietta. In 1232 he was made Earl of Lincoln and in 1240, governor of Chester and Beeston Castles. In 1237, his lordship was one of those appointed to prohibit Oto, the pope's prelate, from establishing anything derogatory to the king's crown and dignity, in the council of prelates then assembled; and the same year he was appointed High Sheriff of Cheshire, being likewise constituted Governor of the castle of Chester.

Private life
He married firstly Alice in 1214 in Pontefract, daughter of Gilbert, lord of L'Aigle, who gave him one daughter,
1. Joan.
Alice died in 1216 in Pontefract.

He married secondly in 1221 Margaret de Quincy, only daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy, son of Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester, by Hawyse, 4th sister and co-heir of Ranulph de Mechines, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, which Ranulph, by a formal charter under his seal, granted the Earldom of Lincoln, that is, so much as he could grant thereof, to the said Hawyse, "to the end that she might be countess, and that her heirs might also enjoy the earldom;" which grant was confirmed by the king, and at the especial request of the countess, this John de Lacy, constable of Chester, through his marriage was allowed to succeed de Blondeville and was created by charter, dated Northampton, 23 November 1232, Earl of Lincoln, with remainder to the heirs of his body, by his wife, the above-mentioned Margaret. In the contest which occurred during the same year, between the king and Richard Marshal, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, Earl Marshal, Matthew Paris states that the Earl of Lincoln was brought over to the king's party, with John of Scotland, 7th Earl of Chester, by Peter de Rupibus, Bishop of Winchester, for a bribe of 1,000 marks.

By this marriage he had one son,
1. Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract, and two daughters, of one,
2. Maud, married Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Gloucester.
[3. unnamed daughter]

Later life
He died on 22 July 1240 and was buried at the Cisterian Abbey of Stanlow, in County Chester. The monk Matthew Paris, records: "On the 22nd day of July, in the year 1240, which was St. Magdalen's Day, John, Earl of Lincoln, after suffering from a long illness went the way of all flesh".
Margaret, his wife, survived him and remarried Walter Marshal, 5th Earl of Pembroke.

He married (1st) ALICE DE L'AIGLE, daughter of Gilbert de l'Aigle, of Pevensey, Sussex, by Isabel de Warenne, daughter of Hamelin, 5th Earl of Surrey (illegitimate son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, (Count of Anjou) [see WARENNE 7.iv for her ancestry]. . (This is incorrect, they had 1 daughter, Joan) She was buried at Norton Priory, Cheshire. He obtained livery of his inheritance in July 1213. In 1213-14 he was with the king in Poitou. He was one of the few English barons to take the Cross for the Crusades along with the king 4 March 1214. In 1215 he joined the confederacy of the barons against the king. He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec. 1215. At the end of the year he made peace with the king, but next summer was again in rebellion, and King John destroyed his castle of Donington. In August 1217 he was pardoned by King Henry III, and in Nov. 1217 he was commissioned to conduct the King of Scots to him. In 1218 he accompanied Ranulph, Earl of Chester, on crusade, and fought at the Siege of Damietta. He returned to England about August 1220, and in Feb. 1220/1 took part in the reduction of Skipton Castle. He married (2nd) in 1221, before 21 June MARGARET (or MARGERY) DE QUINCY, daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincy, by Hawise, suo jure Countess of Lincoln, daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester [see QUINCY 6.i for her ancestry]. She was born before 1217. They had one son, Edmund, Knt. [Constable of Chester], and three daughters, including Maud and Margaret. In 1223 he held the prescriptive right to a weekly market held at the manor of Snaith, Yorkshire. In 1226 he acted as itinerant judge in Lincolnshire and Lancashire, and, in the former county in 1233. In 1227 he was sent on an embassy to Antwerp. He presented to the churches of Naseby, Northamptonshire in 1227 and 1231, and Wadenhoe, Rutland, 1237, and two portions of the church of Clipstone, Northamptonshire in 1228, 1229, 1230, and 1235. In 1229 he was appointed to conduct Alexander II, King of Scots to England to meet King Henry III of England at York. From about 1230 he was about the court, and in that year was a commissioner to treat for a truce with France. In 1230 John and Margaret released their claim to the main Quincy estates to her uncle, Roger de Quincy; Roger in return granted them and their issue her mother's dower, including the manor of Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, to hold of Roger and his heirs. In 1231 he was in Wales on the king's service. Sometime before 1232, he exchanged one acre of land in the vill of Kingston with Christchurch Priory, Hampshire, in return for an acre of the priory's land also in Kingston. In 1232 he took a prominent part as the king's commissioner in the proceedings against Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent. On 22 Nov. 1232, at the instance of Margaret's mother, Hawise de Quincy, the king granted John the ?20 per annum which Ranulph, late Earl of Chester and Lincoln, had received for the 3rd penny of the county as Earl of Lincoln, and which the Earl had in his lifetime granted to Hawise his sister: to hold in nomine comitis Lincolnie to the said John and his heirs by Margaret his wife, whereby he became Earl of Lincoln. In 1233 he was one of Hubert de Burgh's keepers at Devizes Castle until he should become a Templar. The same year he joined the party against Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, but the Bishop gained him over, and from that time he acted with the Court, becoming one of the king's unpopular councillors. He was a justice in Lincolnshire in 1234. In 1236 he carried one of the State swords at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor. The same year a dispute occured between John, Earl of Lincoln, and Margaret his wife and the Prior of Wimborne, the former alleging that a new market had been raised in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, to the detriment of their existing market in the town. In 1237 he was a plenipotentiary to make peace with Scotland. SIR JOHN DE LACY, Earl of Lincoln, Constable of Chester, died 22 July 1240, and was buried near his father in the monk's choir at Stanlaw Abbey, his body being removed later to Whalley Abbey.

John married Margaret De QUINCY in 1221. Margaret (daughter of Robert De QUINCY and Hawise Of CHESTER) was born in 1206 in Winchester, Hampshire, England; died on 30 Mar 1266 in Hampstead, Clerkenwell, London, England; was buried in 1266 in Church of the Hospitallers, Clerkenwell, London, England, United Kingdom.

----------------------------
Margaret de Quincy, suo jure 2nd Countess of Lincoln (c. 1206 ? March 1266) was a wealthy English noblewoman and heiress having inherited in her own right the Earldom of Lincoln and honours of Bolingbroke from her mother Hawise of Chester, received a dower from the estates of her first husband, and acquired a dower third from the extensive earldom of Pembroke following the death of her second husband, Walter Marshal, 5th Earl of Pembroke. Her first husband was John de Lacy, 2nd Earl of Lincoln, by whom she had two children. He was created 2nd Earl of Lincoln by right of his marriage to Margaret. Margaret has been described as "one of the two towering female figures of the mid-13th century".[1]

Family
Margaret was born in about 1206, the daughter and only child of Robert de Quincy and Hawise of Chester, herself the co-heiress of her uncle Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester. Hawise became suo jure Countess of Chester in April 1231 when her brother resigned the title in her favour.

Her paternal grandfather, Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester was one of the 25 sureties of the Magna Carta; as a result he was excommunicated by the Church in December 1215. Two years later her father died after having been accidentally poisoned through medicine prepared by a Cistercian monk.[2]

Life
On 23 November 1232, Margaret and her husband John de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract were formally invested by King Henry III as Countess and Earl of Lincoln. In April 1231 her maternal uncle Ranulf de Blondeville, 1st Earl of Lincoln had made an inter vivos gift, after receiving dispensation from the crown, of the Earldom of Lincoln to her mother Hawise. Her uncle granted her mother the title by a formal charter under his seal which was confirmed by King Henry III. Her mother was formally invested as suo jure 1st Countess of Lincoln on 27 October 1232 the day after her uncle's death. Likewise her mother Hawise of Chester received permission from King Henry III to grant the Earldom of Lincoln jointly to Margaret and her husband John, and less than a month later a second formal investiture took place, but this time for Margaret and her husband John de Lacy. Margaret became 2nd Countess of Lincoln suo jure (in her own right) and John de Lacy became 2nd Earl of Lincoln by right of his wife. (John de Lacy is mistakenly called the 1st Earl of Lincoln in many references.)

In 1238, Margaret and her husband paid King Henry the large sum of 5,000 pounds to obtain his agreement to the marriage of their daughter Maud to Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 2nd Earl of Gloucester.

On 22 July 1240 her first husband John de Lacy died. Although he was nominally succeeded by their only son Edmund de Lacy (c.1227-1258) for titles and lands that included Baron of Pontefract, Baron of Halton, and Constable of Chester, Margaret at first controlled the estates in lieu of her son who was still in his minority and being brought up at the court of Henry III and Eleanor of Provence. In 1243, Margaret inherited the manor of Grantchester on the death of her mother Hawise. [3]

Edmund was allowed to succeed to his titles and estates at the age of 18. Edmund was also Margaret's heir to the Earldom of Lincoln and also her other extensive estates that included the third of the Earldom of Pembroke that she had inherited from her second husband in 1248. Edmund was never able to become Earl of Lincoln, however, as he predeceased his mother by eight years.

As the widowed Countess of Lincoln suo jure, Margaret was brought into contact with some of the most important people in the county of Lincolnshire. Among these included Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, the most significant intellectual in England at the time who recognised Margaret's position as Countess of Lincoln to be legitimate and important, and he viewed Margaret as both patron and peer. He dedicated Les Reules Seynt Robert, his treatise on estate and household management, to her.[4]

Margaret died in 1266, and left her estates to her grandson, Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln.[5]

Marriages and issue
Sometime before 21 June 1221, Margaret married as his second wife, her first husband John de Lacy of Pontefract. The purpose of the alliance was to bring the rich Lincoln and Bolingbroke inheritance of her mother to the de Lacy family.[6] John's first marriage to Alice de l'Aigle had not produced issue; although John and Margaret together had two children:

Maud de Lacy (25 January 1223- 1287/10 March 1289), married in 1238 Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, 2nd Earl of Gloucester, by whom she had seven children.
Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract (died 2 June 1258), married in 1247 Alasia of Saluzzo, daughter of Manfredo III of Saluzzo, by whom he had three children, including Henry de Lacy, 3rd Earl of Lincoln.
She married secondly on 6 January 1242, Walter Marshal, 5th Earl of Pembroke, Lord of Striguil, Lord of Leinster, Earl Marshal of England, one of the ten children of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke. This marriage, like those of his four brothers, did not produce any children; therefore when he died at Goodrich Castle on 24 November 1245, Margaret inherited a third of the Earldom of Pembroke as well as the properties and lordship of Kildare.

Her dower third outweighed any of the individual holdings of the 13 different co-heirs of the five Marshal sisters which meant she would end up controlling more of the earldom of Pembroke and lordship of Leinster than any of the other co-heirs; this brought her into direct conflict with her own daughter, Maud, whose husband was by virtue of his mother Isabel Marshal one of the co-heirs of the Pembroke earldom.[7] As a result of her quarrels with her daughter, Margaret preferred her grandson Henry de Lacy who would become the 3rd Earl of Lincoln on reaching majority (21) in 1272. She and her Italian daughter-in-law Alasia of Saluzzo shared in the wardship of Henry who was Margaret's heir, and the relationship between the two women appeared to have been cordial.[8]

Death and legacy
Margaret was a careful overseer of her property and tenants, and gracious in her dealings with her son's children, neighbours and tenants.[9] She received two papal dispensations in 1251, the first to erect a portable altar; the other so that she could hear mass in the Cistercian monastery.[10] Margaret died in March 1266[11][12] at Hampstead. Her death was recorded in the Annals of Worcester and in the Annals of Winchester.[11] She was buried in the Church of the Hospitallers in Clerkenwell.[11]

Margaret was described as "one of the two towering female figures of the mid-13th century"; the other being Ela, Countess of Salisbury.

Notes:

He took the de Lacy name by virtue of his inheritance of the lordship of Ponterfract. Was also constable of Chester. W E Wightman, *The Lacy Family in England and Normandy, 1066-1194*, genealogical chart following p 260. (pp. 85-86): "Roger 'Helle', constable of Chester, . . . took the name Lacy when he was allowed to inherit the lands. He had to pay a relief of three thousand marks, three times the amount that Robert [de Lacy (RIN 2816*)] had paid sixteen years before. Thus the honours of Halton and Widnes became joined to those of Pontefract and Clitheroe built up by the first Lacy line, the whole forming the basis of the power of the earls of Lincoln in the next century."

LACY, ROGER de (d. 1212), justiciar, and constable of Chester, was son of John de Lacy, by Alice de Vere, sister of William de Mandeville, earl of Essex [q. v.] . . .

On his father's death Roger de Lacy became constable of Chester. In 1192, having been entrusted by the chancellor with the custody of the castles of Tickhill and Nottingham, he hanged two knights who had conspired to surrender these castles to [King] John. John in revenge plundered Lacy's lands. In April 1199 Lacy swore fealty to John on his accession, and from this time remained in high favour with the new king. In November 1200 he was sent to escort William the Lion to Lincoln, and was present when the Scottish king did homage there to John on 22 Nov. In 1201 he was sent with William Marshal, earl of Pembroke, in command of one hundred knights to defend the king's possessions in Normandy. In 1203 Philip Augustus besieged him in the famous Ch?teau Gaillard, which he defended with incomparable fidelity for nearly a year, and only surrendered through stress of famine on 5 March 1204. Matthew Paris relates that the French king, in recognition of his gallant defence, put him in free custody. Lacy was ransomed by John's assistance for a thousand marks (Rot. Claus. i. 4). He was further rewarded by being made sheriff of York and Cheshire, which offices he held till 1210. In 1209 he was a justiciar. He is said to have rescued Earl Randulf of Chester (see Blundevill, Randulf de] when besieged by the Welsh at Rhuddlan, Flintshire. His fierce raids against the Welsh are said to have earned him the name of 'Roger of Hell.' Lacy was on familiar terms with John, and a record is preserved of the king's losses to him 'in ludo ad tabulas' [in a board game]. He died in January 1212, and was buried at Stanlaw. He was a benefactor of that abbey, and also of Fountains. Dugdale prints an epitaph on him from Cotton MS. Cleop. C. iii. (Mon. Angl. v. 648). Dugdale's statement that he was present at the sieges of Acre and Damietta is due to a confusion with his father and son. Roger de Lacy married Maud de Clere, sister of the treasurer of York Cathedral, and left by her two sons, John, earl of Lincoln [q. v.], and Roger.

Roger married Maud De CLERE in Stanlaw, Cheshire, England. Maud (daughter of Roger DE CLARE and Mathilde DE SAINT-HILAIRE) was born in 1181 in Clare, Risbridge, Suffolk, England; died in 1213; was buried in Stanlow Abbey, Stanlow, Cheshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Excommunicated: Dec 1215

Notes:

The eldest son of Saher IV and MARGARET was ROBERT II, who was knighted in 1213, when his father was granted an aid from his tenants for that purpose. If the grant of knighthood to ROBERT II took place about the age of twenty, he must have been born about 1193 and his parents might have married about 1190. Robert did not inherit the earldom of Winchester because he was in rebellion at the time of his father's death.

Robert married Hawise Of CHESTER. Hawise (daughter of Hugh Of CYVEILIOG and Bertrade De MONTFORT) was born on 11 Sep 1180 in Chester, Chestershire, England; died after 6 Jun 1241 in Chester, Cheshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
