LANE, JANE,
A woman of great spirit and sagacity, assisted in the escape of Charles the Second after the battle of Worcester. The royal fugitive, disguised in her father's livery, rode before her on horseback from Bentley Hall, in Staffordshire, to Mr. Norton's, near Bristol. Charles, on his restoration, rewarded her amply; and she married Sir Clement Fisher, Bart., of Packington Hall, in Warwickshire.
