Hugh (Keveliok) de Meschines, surnamed from the place of his birth in Merionethshire, was the third Earl of Chester. He joined in the rebellion of the Earl of Leicester and the King of Scots against King Henry II, and in support of that monarch's son, Prince Henry's pretensions to the crown. In that proceeding he was taken prisoner along with the Earl of Leicester at Alnwick, but obtained his freedom soon afterwards, upon the King's reconciliation with the young prince. Again, however, hoisting the banner of revolt, both in England and in Normandy, with as little success he was again seized and detained as prisoner for some years. He eventually obtained his liberty and restoration of his lands when public tranquillity became completely re-established some time about the 23rd year of the King's reign.
