Lord Biffingham of Tannenshire, 3rd Earl of Tannenshire was an English lord in late 14th century Medieval England. He kidnapped Jennivere McFly and Clara Clayton Brown, the wives of Harold McFly and Emmett Brown, respectively. He planned to marry Clara once she became a widow, and he planned for her to become a widow very shortly, by challenging Doc Brown to a jousting match. When Harold, Jules, and Verne tried out a plan to make Doc win, the plan backfired and they, together with Doc, were to be beheaded.
Fortunately, at the last minute they were rescued by Clara and Jennivere, who met each other in the tower and had made a hot air balloon. They rescued the menfolk and headed out to Stonehenge, where Harold and Jennivere decided to emigrate to Ireland in the balloon and to raise "generations of McFlys". The DeLorean time machine reappeared as Biffingham caught up with the Browns. The Browns went into the time machine and returned to Hill Valley.
