Constable of Porchester Castle and of Pevensey Castle for life, Vice Admiral to the «b»Earl of Warwick«/b», then High Admiral of England. He accompanied «b»Edward IV«/b» on his flight into Flanders and his triumphal return to England at Ravenspur. The marriage of the second baron accounts for the rise of this branch of the family. He married «b»Margaret Wykeham«/b» (died shortly before 30 May 1477), daughter and heiress of «b»William Wykeham«/b», otherwise Parrott, of Broughton Castle, Oxford. Her father was son and heir of «b»Sir Thomas Wykeham«/b», otherwise Parrott, third and only son to leave issue of «b»William Parrott of Ash«/b», near Overton, Hants, by «b»Alice Champneys«/b», daughter and heiress of «b»William Champneys«/b» by «b»Agnes«/b», sister of «b»William of Wykeham«/b» (1324\endash 1404), Bishop of Winchester from 1367 until death. By this marriage the Fiennes family acquired Broughton Castle which remains in 2000 the seat of the Lords Saye and Sele. For the next five generations, a thin line of only sons inherited Broughton Castle, but they did not assume the title and were never called to Parliament. The title was dormant, meaning that the rightful claimants never asserted their title.
