Eustace de Fiennes (a 1066)
The ancestry shown for Eustace is as suggested by 'TUDOR'. Note that BP1934 (Saye and Sele) reports that the Sir William Fiennes who married Joan de Saye (see below) was "10th in descent from John Fiennes, Baron of Fiennes, kinsman and companion of William the Conqueror".
m. Adela de Selnesse (dau of Erard de Selnesse or Furness)
1. Conan de Fiennes
  m. Alice de Bournonville (dau of Louis de Bournonville)
  A. Eustace de Fiennes
  m. Anne de Dreux
  i. son (dsp)
  ii. Enguerrand (Ingelram) de Fiennes of Fiennes (France), Martock (Somerset), etc. (b c1128, d Acre 1189)
m. Sibille de Tingry (dau/heir of Faramus de Tingry of Boulogne)
  Except for entries shown in italics, which come from 'various web sites', the above is given by TCP ('Saye and Sele'), reporting Dugdale's 'Baronage'. However, Lipscomb shows Ingelram as son of John son of James son of Alan "descendt of John", all of whom were shown as Hereditary Constables of Dover Castle. Collins confirms that he was descended from such constables.
  a. William de Fiennes of Wendover (Buckinghamshire) (b 1160, d 1240-1)
  m. Agnes de Dammartin (sister of Renaud, Count of Bologne, and of Simon, Count of Ponthieu)
  (1) Sir Ingelram (Enguerrand) de Fiennes of Wendover, etc.
  (1) Lipscomb shows Ingelram as father of William (d 1301) father of Margaret & John but apparently confuses that John with his cousin John (son of Giles), showing him as father (by Joane Jordain) of the John who m. Maud Monceaux. What we show follows Collins (and others).
(2) 'TUDOR' shows Enguerrand as m1. Maud Hampden, m2. Isabella, dau of Jacques de Conde, with all the children by Maud. However, that is the only place we have seen so far that mentions Maud. Other web sites show only the marriage to Isabel de Conde and so show all the children by her. Collins confirms that Ingelram is reported to have married a dau of Jacques, Lord de Conde, and an Isabella but notes that it is unlikely that she was Isabella, dau of Jacques de Conde (who "in all those times was wife of a Count de Loss"). Collins reports that Ingelram had 4 children: William, Giles, Robert & Maud with Maud identified as fourth child rather than as only daughter. TCP (Hereford) shows Humphrey de Bohun's wife's mother as a daughter of Jacques, Seigneur of Conde, etc. (and granddau of Guillaume de Fiennes by Agnes, dau of Alberic, Count of Dammartin). Provisionally we presume to show all of his children as by ...

  The following is supported by Lipscomb (Bucks, vol 4, 'Pedigree of Haversham', p187).
  m. Maud de Haversham (dau of Nicholas de Haversham of Haversham)
  (a) John de la Plaunche (d young)
(b) William de la Plaunche of Haversham
(1) Lipscomb shows 2 generations of Williamses here, the first d 1335 being father by Hawise (a 1336) of the second (b c1326, d 1340) being the one who married Elizabeth Hilary. Provisionally, because it seems odd that William should have had 3 daughters when he was so young (though Lipscomb does report that Elizabeth was born poshumously), we follow those web sites which show just one William.
(2) The following is partly supported by TCP (Clinton) & TCP (Grey of Rotherfield). The former identifies Elizabeth as "posthumous da. and eventually sole h." of William whilst the latter identifies her as "2nd da. and eventually sole h." of William, in both cases by ...
