Fiennes was the second son of Lord Say and Sele, and, like his
father, a strong Independent. He was Colonel of Horse under
Essex, and Governor of Bristol, which he too readily yielded to
Prince Rupert. He was thereon tried and condemned by a court

It may be mentioned that the die of the reverse of this variety
seems to have had the date 1660 inserted in it, and was
