Main Events

Also Known AsIsabelle Unknown was also known as Isabelle Unknown.
BurialIsabelle's remains were buried in Canterury Cathedral.1
ResidenceShe resided Isabel of Gloucester (d. 14 October 1217) was the first wife of King John of England. She is also known by an exceptionally large number of alternative names: Hadwisa, Hawise, Joan, Eleanor, Avise and Avisa.

Isabel was the daughter of the William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester and his wife, Hawise. Her paternal grandfather was the illegitimate son of Henry I, King of England. Her father died in 1183 and as he had no male heirs, his title merged in the Crown, but a new creation was granted to her in 1186 and she became Countess of Gloucester.

On 29 August 1189, she married John, Earl of Cornwall at Marlborough Castle in Wiltshire and he assumed the title in her right. Shortly before or after John's accession as king in 1199, he had the marriage annulled by Pope Boniface VIII on the grounds of consanguinity (they were second cousins as descendants of King Henry I) and Isabel was never recognised as queen and her former title merged in the Crown.

She later married the 2nd Earl of Essex on 20 January 1214 and after he died in 1216, she married Hugh de Burgh (later Earl of Kent) in September 1217. Isabel died a month later that year and was interred in Canterbury Cathedral.

A very fanciful depiction of her as a witch appears in The Devil and King John, a historical novel, where she is called Hadwisa. She also appears as Hadwisa in Robin of Sherwood.1

Residence
Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester (1195 – April 25, 1265) was a medieval nobleman who was prominent on both sides of the Anglo-Scottish border, as Earl of Winchester and Constable of Scotland.

He was the second son of Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester, and Margaret de Beaumont.

He probably joined his father on the Fifth Crusade in 1219, where the elder de Quincy fell sick and died. His elder brother having died a few years earlier, Roger thus inherited his father's titles and properties. However, he did not take possession of his father's lands until February 1221, probably because he did not return to England from the crusade until then. He did not formally become earl until after the death of his mother in 1235.

Roger married Helen, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Alan, Lord of Galloway. Without legitimate sons to succeed him, Alan's lands and dignities were divided between the husbands of his three daughters, so Roger acquired Alan's position as Constable of Scotland, and one-third of the lordship of Galloway (although the actual title of Lord of Galloway went through Helen's half-sister Devorguilla to her husband John I de Balliol).

The Galwegians rebelled under Gille Ruadh, not wanting their land divided, but the rebellion was suppressed by Alexander II of Scotland. Roger ruled his portion of Galloway strictly, and the Galwegians revolted again in 1247, forcing Roger to take refuge in a castle. Faced with a siege and little chance of relief, Roger and a few men fought their way out and rode off to seek help from Alexander, who raised forces to again suppress the rebellion.

In the following years Roger was one of the leaders of the baronial opposition to Henry III of England, although he fought for Henry against the Welsh in the 1250s and 1260s.

Following Helen's death in 1245, Roger married Maud de Bohun, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford, around 1250. Maud died only two years later, and Roger married his third wife, Eleanor Ferrers, daughter of William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby the same year.

Roger had three daughters by his first wife, but no sons. His subsequent marriages produced no issue. After his death his estates were divided between the daughters, and the earldom of Winchester lapsed. The three daughters of Roger and Helen of Galloway were:

* Helen (also known as Ela or Elena), who married Alan Baron Zouche of Ashby;
* Elizabeth (also known as Isabella), who married Alexander Comyn, 2nd Earl of Buchan;
* Margaret, who married William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby (and was thus stepmother to her own stepmother).
