Margaret Wykeham. He seems to have been slain, while fighting on Edward IV.'s side, at the battle of Barnet in 1471 ; and was certainly survived by his wife Margaret, who, when she died on 20 May, 1477, had another husband, John Hervy, but left as her heir Richard Fiennes, aged six years and more, the son of her son Henry Fiennes, who had predeceased her (Inq. p.m. 17 Edw. IV. No. 45). Three inquisitions "were taken upon her death, and I follow two of them in the above description of her Jieir those taken respectively at Basing- toke, Hants, and at Deddington, Oxford- shire. According to the third, which was taken at Wells, Somerset, the grandson who was her heir was named Henry, and was then aged three years and more. Whether that finding was but a mistake or was due to some -customary heirship (in favour of a younger son) appertaining to lands mentioned in the inquisition, I do not know. But at any Tate Richard Fiennes, as the grandson and heir of Sir William Fynes de Say and Mar- garet his wife, proved in 1495 that he was born at Charlbury, Oxfordshire, on the Friday before Easter, 1471. See the printed ' Calendar Inq. p.m. Hen. VII.' (vol. i.), ~No. 1079. This Richard Fiennes was the
 * great - great - grandfather of William, first

Viscount Saye and Sele.

I have attempted thus to trace the con- nexion between the family of Fiennes and "William of Wykeham, not only because MB. BAYLEY has called it mythical, but also because in G. E. C.'s ' Peerage,' vii. 66 n. (a), Margaret Wykeham' s paternal grandfather is to be " Sir William Wykeham," whereas he certainly was Sir Thomas. H. C.
