Small CP correction: A second son for Edward Fiennes, 5th Lo

CP, 11:483-84, states that Richard Fiennes, _de jure_ 6th Lord
Saye-Sele, was the ONLY son and heir of Edward Fiennes by his wife
Margaret Danvers. However, in _Notes and Queries_ 220 (1975), p. 294
(Alan Davidson, "The Fiennes Family and Founders' Kin") we find another
son mentioned:

But in fact the account given in _The Complete Peerage_ is incorrect
and Edward Fiennes, _de jure_ 5th Lord Saye and Sele, father of the
aforementioned Sir Richard, had also a younger son of whom he wrote in
his will, made 12 June 1527 and proved 16 February 1929, "Item I wille
that the said Denys, be brought in the new College of Oxford that was
of Bisshop Wykeham foundacion according as his mynde was for suche
previlege as he founded and graunted to suche as come thether after his
death that were of the descent of his kyn whiche previlege the felawes
of the said College be sworne to performe to the uttermoost as apperith
by the statute boke of the said College more playnly" [PCC 2 Jankyn
(Prob 11/23), slightly modernized]. Denis Fiennes was then seven and
his apparent absence from any further record suggests that he did not
long survive.
