==Biography==
}Sir Henry (Fane) Vane PC MP (1589–1655), administrator and diplomat, was born on 18 February 1589, the eldest son of Henry Fane (1560–1596) of Hadlow, Kent, and his second wife, Margaret (d. 1630), daughter of Roger Twysden. On 27 March 1612, he married Frances (1592–1663), coheir of Thomas Darcy of Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Essex, with whom he eventually had seven sons and five daughters. A younger son of the Fane family, he distanced himself from them by reverting to the medieval spelling of his surname. He died in 1654.
Vane died at the age of about 66 in or around May 1655. Royalists reported that he had committed suicide, through remorse for his share in Strafford's death. His widow, Frances, lady Vane, died on 2 August 1663, aged 72, and was buried at Shipbourne, Kent. Portraits of Vane and his wife were painted by Van Dyck.[2]
