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).

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).

--------------------

Helen of Galloway, (b.c. [1208], Wigtownshire, Scotland –1245), also known as Ela, was the daughter and co-heiress of Alan, Lord of Galloway and Hilda or Helen de L'Isle] daughter of Rognvald Sumarlidasson, Lord of the Isles and Fonia of Moray..

Helen had two half-sisters and co-heiresses, Devorguilla (or 'Derborgaill', mother of King John of Scotland), and Christina (or 'Cairistiona'). She was married to Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester, as his first wife. The three daughters of Roger and Helen of Galloway were:

Helen de Quincy (also known as Ela), who married Alan, Baron Zouche of Ashby;

Elizabeth de Quincy (also known as Isabella), who married Alexander Comyn, 2nd Earl of Buchan;

Margaret de Quincy, who married William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby.

Helen of Galloway died in or after 1245, and was buried at Brackley, Leicestershire.

--------------------

Helen of Galloway died after 21 November 1245 in England.

Helen was our ancestor through three distinct descent lines--through her daughter Margaret, through her daughter Helen, and through her daughter Elizabeth, each of whom was independently our ancestor.
