Notes edit
- ^ Before the 18th century it was not unusual for the name Vane also to be spelt Fane — See for example Sir Ralph Vane of Badsel Manor, executed at Tower Hill 1552 — and so it is not unusual for different modern sources to use different spellings for the same person prior to the 18th century.
