He was the second son (but oldest surviving son) of Vere Fane, 4th Earl of Westmorland and his wife Rachel Bence; as well as the older brother of Thomas Fane and John Fane.[1] When his father died in 1693, Vere Fane inherited the Earldom of Westmorland, as well as his father's further titles Baron Burghersh and Lord le Despenser.[1] Fane died in 1698 at the age of 19, unmarried and without any issue,[3] and was succeeded by his younger brother Thomas.[1]
