 DACRE 19 Dacre kt., Lord Dacre [^/V],('') he was made Chief Forester of Inglewood Forest, 25 Jan. 1 469/70. C") His attainder and that of his br. were reversed on petition in the Pari. 12-13 Edw. IV.(') This reversal of the attainder made him (under the entailing deeds made by his father) heir to most of the estates, though the possession thereof was still disputed by the heir general. Each of the parties having agreed in a bond of 10,000 marks to abide by the King's arbitrament, the award made under the Privy Seal, 8 Apr. 1473, allotted Gilsland to Humphrey, as heir male, while as to the Peerage (the title and precedency of Thomas, the late Lord Dacre, being allowed to the heir general), it was enacted " that the said Humfrey Dacre, Knight, and the heirs male of the body of the said Thomas, late Lord Dacre, comyng, bee reputed, had, named, and called the LORD DACRE OF GILLESLAND," and " have, use, and keepe the place in our Parls.('^) next adjoining beneath the said place that the said Richard Fenys, Knt., Lord Dacre, now hath and occupieth," whereby, apparently, a Barony in TAIL MALE was Created. (^) He was sum. to Pari, from 15 Nov. (1482) 22 Edw. IV to 9 Dec. (1483) i Ric. Ill, by writs directed Humfrido Dacre de Gillesland Governor of Carlisle Castle; was present at the Coronation of Richard III in 1483,0 and was Warden, 5 Sep. 1484, of the West (^) I.e. three years before his attainder was reversed and the title confirmed to him by the award of 8 Apr. 1473. V.G. (b) Patent Roll, 9 Edw. IV, p. 2, m. 13. {ex inform. G. W. Watson). V.G. ("=) This petition was presented in Pari. 8 Feb. 1472/3. In it Humphrey states that he had been admitted to the King's grace at the Palace of Westm., 2 Edw. IV. And "as the seid Humfrey is as repentaunt and sorowfuU as eny creature may be, of all that which the seid Randolf or he have doon or committed," he prays for the reversal of the attainders, and that the fieffment and fines (set out mpra, p. I, note "f," and page 7, notes "f" and "g") " be good and efFectuell." " Soit fait come il est desire." He therefore obtained the estates in Cumberland and Westmorland entailed on the heirs male of the body of Thomas, Lord of Dacre (together, however, with Halton), and Joan wife of Richard Fynes kt. obtained Holbeach, Fishwick, and Eccleston. {Pari. Rolls, vol. vi, pp. 43-45). {ex inform. G. W. Watson). V.G. {^) As to Precedency of Peers in Pari, by Royal Warrant, see vol. i. Appendix C; and for a very similar award by James I, see vol. i, p. 36, note " c." {^) "From this period, therefore, I conceive this Sir Humfrey Dacre is to be accounted Baron Dacre of Gillesiand, holding that dignity only to himself and the heirs male of the body of his father, and not as a Barony by Writ."
