John Wake, 1st Lord (Baron), so created by writ of summons to Parliament 24 June 
1295; campaigned in Gascony between 1288 and 1297 and against the Scots 1297-
1300, Jt Captain of March of Scotland in Cumberland and Westmorland 1297, fought 
at Battle of Falkirk 1298; married by 24 Sep 1291 Joan (died just prior to 26 Oct 
1309), allegedly daughter of Sir John FitzBernard, of Kingsdown, Kent or William de 
Fenes, a Spanish Count, and possibly a relative of Edward I, and died just prior to 10 
April 1300. [Burke's Peerage]

Note: I have put both Joan(s) in as wives of John. Only one (Joan de Fiennes) was 
probably his wife. Ancestral Roots has a little more explicit (and different) information 
on "Joan de Fenes", naming her Joan de Fiennes, daughter of a non-Spanish, 
French/Englishman named William de Fiennes by Blanche de Brienne. Douglas 
Richardson of SGM confirms this identity as daughter of William de Fiennes, Knt, 
seigneur of Fiennes and Tingry (Pas-de-Calais/Artois, France), and in England, of 
Chokes and Gayton, Northants and Wendover Bucks.

BARONY OF WAKE (I)

JOHN WAKE, son and heir, by 2nd wife, was born probably late in 1268. He was 
granted protection, 15 November 1288, to go to Gascony, was summoned for service 
in Gascony, 1294, in company with the King's brother Edmund, and was summoned for 
service across the seas in 1297. In March 1293/4 he was going to Scotland, where he 
was in 1296 and 1298, and he was summoned against the Scots, 1297-1300. He was 
summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 29 December 1299, by writs directed 
Johanni Wake, whereby he is held to have become LORD WAKE. He was Captain, 
with others, of the March of Scotland in Cumberland and Westmorland, 18 October 
1297. He fought in the 2nd line under the Bishop of Durham at the battle of Falkirk, 22 
July 1298; was a Commissioner to deal with Scottish prisoners, July 1299; and was 
called to meet the Barons of the Exchequer at York, January 1299/1300. He married, 
before 24 September 1291, Joan de Fiennes. He died shortly before 10 April 1300. 
She died shortly before 26 October 1309. [Complete Peerage XII/2:301-2, XIV:623, 
(transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Note: Apparently the preponderance of evidence identifies John's wife as Joan de 
Fiennes, daughter of William de Fiennes by Blanche de Brienne (as stated in AR line 
236-10). This is based on an article in 'Genealogist Magazine' by John Carmi Parsons 
entitled 'Court and Household of Eleanor of Castile in 1290', (1977): 41, 44-46. 
Originally CP XII/2 named his wife Joan with a note (c) that stated she may be a 
daughter of John FitzBernard or of William de Fenes, but this was corrected by volume 
XIV in favor of Joan de Fiennes as it now reads in the above text. . . . ALTHOUGH to 
confuse matters even more: Faris' Plantagenet Ancestry, 2nd Edition, page 185, 
indicates that Margaret Wake's parents were "John Wake, 1st Lord Wake, by Joan, 
daughter of John Fitz Bernard, Knt., of Kingsdown, Kent." I have been told that the 
1st edition of the book had Joan de Fiennes as the mother, but the 2nd edition, 
published in 1999, appears to take a step backwards. Did they find out something 
new?
