No evidence of her in various peerages. I detached her.

Thanks. I have since found a Joan Douglas who was the wife of 5th Baron William Dacre. That may have caused some confusion since there is a Richard Fiennes who was married Johanna Dacre. Richard Fiennes was created by the Edward VII as the 8th Baron Dacre after he married the daughter of Thomas Dacre of Gilsland, in the North. That was one of the connection points between the Fiennes and the Dacres.
