    Notes:

    "...Elizabeth De Quincy, who married Alexander (Earl of Buchan) Comyn.CP12 (part II), a volume published in 1959, at 753, shows that Elizabeth(or Isabel) was the daughter of "Roger (De Quency," 2nd Earl ofWinchester by his 1st wife Helen, 2nd but surviving daughter and coheirof Alan, Lord of Galloway, Constable of Scotland. CP2: 375, a volumepublished in 1912, shows the same ancestry, but spells the name "deQuincy," not "de Quency."

    SP2:254 favors the spelling "de Quincy," saying that Alexander Comyn"married Elizabeth or Isabella (called also Marjory), third daughter ofRoger de Quincy, Earl of Winton [must mean Winchester], by his first wifeAlianora, daughter and co-heiress of Alan of Galloway, who was hereditaryConstable of Scotland." Similarly, BURKE'S B & P (1999 edition) at 413,identifies Alexander's wife as "a daughter of Roger de Quincy, Earl ofWinchester."
    "Roger (2nd Earl of Winchester) de Quincy...Maud was his second marriageand it produced no children. CP12 (part II), at 753. As noted above, hisfirst wife was Helen, daughter and coheir of Alan, Lord of Galloway.Since Roger was a sister of Hawise de Quincy, ...their parents beingSaher de Quincy and "Margaret, younger sister and coheir of Robert(FitzPernel), 4th Earl of Leicester (who d.s.p. 20 or 21 October 1204),2nd daughter of Robert, 3rd Earl of Leicester, by Pernel, heiress of theHonor of Grandmesnil." CP12 (part II) 750."
