Helen FERCH LLYWELYN

  • Married (1): Abt 1222
  • Married (2): Before 5 Dec 1237
  • Died: 1253, before 24 October

  Research Notes:

The Annales Cestrienses record in 1222 that “Johannes filius comitis David” married “filiam Lewelini” in accordance with the agreement between him and “comitem Cestrie”. The Annals of Dunstable record that “Johannes comes Cestriæ” died in 1237 and “eius uxor…filia Lewelini” married “Roberto [de Quinci]” against her father´s wishes. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Matthew of Paris records that it was suspected that his wife "filia Leolini" poisoned John “the Scot”. A writ after the death of "Eleanor, sometime the wife of John Earl of Chester", dated "the eve of St Martin 38 Hen III", records the "partition of her lands between Si J. de Bayllol, Robert de Brus, and Henry de Hasting, the heirs of the said earl". 1

  Marriage Information:

Helen married John "the Scot" DE HUNTINGDON, Earl of Chester, son of David Canmore DE HUNTINGDON, Earl of Huntingdon, and Matilda DE KEVELIOC of Chester, about 1222. (John DE HUNTINGDON was born about 1207 and died on 5 Jun 1237 in Darnhall, Cheshire, England.)

  Marriage Information:

Helen also married Robert "the younger" DE QUINCY, son of Saher IV DE QUINCY, 1st Earl of Winchester, and Margaret DE BEAUMONT, Countess of Winchester, before 5 Dec 1237. (Robert DE QUINCY was born between 1217 and 1219 and died in Aug 1257.)
