Saher de Quincy was one of the 25 sureties of the Magna Charta, for which he was excommunicated. His singular christian name of Saher, or Saier, is a likely a corruption from the Saxon Segher, Sigher, or Seagar, a Conqueror. Eliza S. Quincy refers to him as "John de Quincy, created Earl of Winchester by King John, 1207. He was a leader of the Barons who forced John to sign the Magna Charta."
The arms of Saher de Quincy are described as "Or, a fesse gules, a file of 11 points azure". As with the genealogy, the arms of Saher de Quincy are uncertain. Argent can be used instead of or, and the colours of the fesse and file can be transposed. As well, the file doesn't appear to be definite, and is pictured in different places with 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 points.
