  William Fiennes, 1st viscount Saye and Sele - LoveToKnow 1911
WILLIAM FIENNES SAYE AND SELE, IST ViscouNT (1582-1662), was the only son of Richard Fiennes, 7th Baron Saye and Sele, and was descended from James Fiennes, Lord Saye and Sele, who was lord chamberlain and lord treasurer under Henry VI.
Born on the 28th of May 1582 Fiennes, like many of his family, was educated at New College, Oxford; he succeeded to his father's barony in 1613, and in parliament opposed the policy of James I., undergoing a brief imprisonment for objecting to a benevolence in 1662; and he showed great animus towards Lord Bacon.
In 1624, owing probably to his temporary friendship with the duke of Buckingham, he was advanced to the rank of a viscount, but notwithstanding this he remained during the early parliaments of Charles I.

Intrigued by what he’d read about the birds’ amazing annual journey, Fiennes was also desperate to emerge from a period of illness and from the belief that, at age twenty-six, his life had ground to a halt.
"William Fiennes is a magician with language, a narrative genius, and one of the keenest and most lucid observers of birds -- and American culture, and human nature -- that I've read.
Fiennes' evocation of the arctic is brilliant, deeply moving.

Geoffrey White concluded that although the actual patent disappeared and was never enrolled there could be no doubt that the remainder vested to the heirs male of the body of the grantee and that the title did not arise from a writ of summons that at that time probably would have descended to heirs general.
Her father was son and heir of Sir Thomas Wykeham, otherwise Parrott, third and only son to leave issue of William Parrott of Ash, near Overton, Hants, by Alice Champneys, daughter and heiress of William Champneys by Agnes, sister of William of Wykeham (1324–1404), Bishop of Winchester from 1367 until death.
Horace Round held that the award of 1473 assigning the heir general and her husband precedence of the old barony, over that of the heir male, was a recognition of his wife’s accession to the original barony.

Fiennes travels to south Texas, and leapfrogs the birds--by car, bus, train, snowmobile, and foot--en route to their nesting grounds on Baffin Island.
William Fiennes, author of The Snow Geese, returned to health with the aid of a bird.
So William Fiennes defines his quarry, not to hunt, but to observe, as he follows them on their 3,000-mile spring migration from the Gulf of Mexico to Baffin Island where their breeding grounds are located.

 The Snow Geese - Reviewed by Ann Skea - Eclectica Magazine v6n4
The Snow Geese records Fiennes journey, but it is a very quirky record in which science is entangled with Fiennes unique perception of the people he meets along the way, and his meditative observations on the homing instinct in birds and humans.
And although Fiennes' tracking of the migrating snow geese was not as smooth as he expected, he certainly saw geese.
Fiennes own journey, like that of the geese, was one of migration and return, and of discovery.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | The Snow Geese by William Fiennes
At the age of 25, William Fiennes suffered severe illness in the middle of his postgraduate studies.
Fiennes also sought to fill the vacuum created by his enforced leisure with an old neglected interest in ornithology, inspired by his father and readings of a favourite book from childhood, Paul Gallico's The Snow Goose.
Fiennes writes of one old boy that his "glasses had thick lenses in which his eyes floated like puffer fish behind aquarium glass"; attempting to capture the awesome spectacle of one massive flock of snow geese, he suggests simply that it contained more birds "than there are words in this book".
