Margaret de Fiennes, Baroness Mortimer (after 1269 – 7 February 1333), was an 
English noblewoman born to William II de Fiennes, Baron Tingry and Blanche de 
Brienne. Her paternal grandparents were Enguerrand II de Fiennes and Isabelle de 
Conde. Her maternal grandparents were Jean de Brienne and Jeanne, Dame de 
Chateaudun.

Margaret had a sister, Joan de Fiennes (c. 1273 - before 26 October 1309), whose 
daughter, Margaret Wake, was the mother of Joan of Kent. Therefore, Margaret de 
Fiennes was a great-aunt of Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent. Margaret de Fiennes was 
also a first cousin of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford.

In September 1285, when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, Margaret married 
Edmund Mortimer of Wigmore, 2nd Baron Mortimer, the son of Roger Mortimer, 1st 
Baron Mortimer and Maud de Braose. They had eight children.
