Sir Francis Fane, KB, (died 1691) of Fulbeck, in Lincolnshire was a writer of stage plays and poems and a courtier in the Restoration court of Charles II of England. ==Biography== Fane was the eldest son of Sir Francis Fane (c. 1611–1680).〔, citing: will registered in P. C. C. 91, North.〕 Fane the younger was created a Knight of the Bath in 1661 at the coronation of Charles II.〔 citing: Le Neve, ''Pedigree of the Knight''. Harl. Soc. p. 7.〕 Fane and some partners were financiers for a project to drain Eight Hundred Fen, near Boston, Lincolnshire. He ran up substantial debts which he hoped to reduce by the sale of Firbeck Manor in Yorkshire. He petitioned Parliament to pass an act allowing him to do so as it had been settled on his wife and their sons. By his father's will dated 7 June 1679 he inherited the sum of £1800, the majority of his late fathers estate. During the later part of his life Sir Francis resided on his estate at Henbury, Gloucestershire, where he died on 8 April 1691.〔, citing: Probate Act Book, P. C. C, 1691.〕 In his will,〔, citing: P. C. C, 137, Vere.〕 dated 14 November 1689, and proved 15 September 1691, he requests his wife (Hannah), whom he appoints sole executrix, "to pay ffourty pounds to the poore of the parish of Olveston, in the county of Gloucester, being in full and more of the ffines at any time leavied by me on the Quakers without a full deduccon of charges in leavying them, the Informers parte not defraying the Charges".
