And ha∣ving been summonedy 1.102 to Parliament from 14 H. 4. until 33 H. 6. departedz 1.103 this Life upon the Fifteenth of Ian. 36 H. 6. Whereupon Ranulph his second Son, was founda 1.104 to be his next Heir Male, and at that time 26 years of age; Thomas the Eldest beingb 1.105 dead in his life time; which Thomas by ... his Wife, Daughter* 1.106 of Ri∣chard Bowes Esq left Issuec 1.107 Ioane, his sole Daughter and Heir, then Marriedd 1.108 to Sir Ri∣chard Fenys Knight. Whereupon the King by his Letterse 1.109 Patents, bearing date the Seventh day of November, declared the same Richard Fe∣nys, to be Lord Dacre, and one of the Barons of this Realm; as also that he should enjoy all pre-eminence belonging to that degree. Of which Sir Richard Fenys, and his Posterity, ha∣ving spoke at large in my discourse of that Fa∣mily, I return to Ranulph, commonly called Lord Dacre of the North.

This Ranulph* 1.110 firmly adheringf 1.111 to King Hen∣ry the Sixth, against those of the House of Yorke, then in Arms, and foyled in the Battle of Wakefeild, in 38 H. 6. in consideration of his eminent services in that War, obtain'd a Grant g 1.112 of Forty pounds per annum to be paid out of the Revenues of the Mannor of Plumpton, then in the Kings hands, by the attainder of Richard Earl of Salisbury, Slain in that Bat∣tle.

And in 4 E. 4. attendingp 1.121 the La∣dy Margaret, the Kings Sister, (whose Chamber∣lain he was) when she went from London, to Marry with Charles Duke of Burgundy; lan∣ded q 1.122 with her at Sluse in Flanders. For which, and other his good services, in 9 E. 4 the King conferredr 1.123 upon him, the Office of Master-Forester of the Forest of Inglewode, in Com. Cumbr. to hold during life.

In 11 E. 4. this Humphrey Lord Dacre, was one of the Lords, who, in the Parliament Cham∣ber, swores 1.124 to be faithful to Prince Edward, eldest Son to King Edward the Fourth. And in 12 E. 4. was appointedt 1.125 one of the Commissio∣ners, to Treat with others, from Iames the Third, King of Scotland, upon sundry grie∣vances, and injuries done by the Subjects of that Realm, to the English. Being also at that time Governoru 1.126 of the Castle of Carlisie, he had payx 1.127 for Sixty Souldiers for two Months: and in 13 E. 4. wasy 1.128 one of the Commissioners (with Henry Earl of Northumberland and others) appointed to meet with the like Commissioners from Scotland, to Treat upon the former grei∣vances. In 2 R. 3. he was constituted Warden z 1.129 of the Marches. And having been summoned a 1.130 to Parliament, in 22 E. 4. and 1 R. 3. depar∣ted * 1.131 this life in 1 H. 7.

To whom succeeded in his Lands and Honor, Sir Thomas Dacre Knight, his Son and Heir, who in 9 H. 7. accompanied* 1.132 Thomas Earl of Sur∣rey, with the rest of the Northern-Barons, for ••••ising the Siege of Norham-Castle, then laid 〈…〉〈…〉 by the Scots. This Thomas Marriedb 1.133 Eli∣zabeth, the Cousin and Heir to Raphe Lord Grystok, (viz.c 1.134 Daughter of Robert, Son to the said Raphe. Whereupon, in 22 H. 7. he had a special Liveryd 1.135 of the Lands of her Inheritance, and in 1 H. 8. was constituted Wardene 1.136 of the Marches.

In An. 1522. (14 H. 8.) being still Warden h 1.139 of the West-Marches, he was senti 1.140 into Scot∣land, with about five hundred Men, to pro∣claim that the Scots should come in to the Kings peace, by the first of March, at their peril. Af∣ter which, he made certain Inroadsk 1.141 into that Realm, and burntl 1.142 down divers Villages; but at length, through the intercession of Queen Mar∣garet, hem 1.143 was the person, who had that Con∣ference with the Duke of Albany, which pro∣duced a Truce. And in 15 H. 8. upon that In∣vasion of Scotland, made by the Earl of Sur∣rey (then General of the English) he won* 1.144 the Castle of Fernhurst.

This Lord Dacres, uponn 1.145 the old Ruines at Drumbuygh (situate near the mid-way-be∣tween Boulness, and Burgh upon the Sands) in Com. Cumbr. builto 1.146 up a little Castle, for the defence of the Country; for the Structure where∣of, he tookp 1.147 Stones out of the Pictswall, which is near unto it. And having been summon'd q 1.148 to Parliament from 1 H. 8. till his death, de∣parted r 1.149 this life 24 Oct. An. 1525.

An in 22 H. 8. was one of the Lords, who subscribeda 1.157 that Letter sent to Pope Clement the Seventh; intimating, that in case he did not comply with King H. 8. in that case of his Divorce from Queen Katherine of Spaine, his Supremacy in this Realm was not like to be long allow'd.

In 25 H. 8. upon that difference betwixt this William and the Lord Morley, in point of Precedence; it was, by judgementb 1.158 of the House of Lords, determined, that the Lord Morley should it next above him. And in 26 H. 8. being ac∣cused c 1.159 of Treason, by Sir Raphe Fenwyke Knight, and one Musgrave, for which he had his Triald 1.160 at Westminster, 9 Iulii, he was ac∣quitted e 1.161 by his Peers, by reason that the Wit∣nesses were Scotchmen of mean condition, who were thought to be suborned, and to speak ma∣litiously against him, in regard of his severity to∣wards them, as Warden of the Marches.

In 28 H. 8. being sollicitedf 1.162 to joyn with Robert Aske, and his adherents, in that Insur∣rection, called the Pilgrimage of Grace, (occasi∣on'd by the dissolution of the lesser Monasteries) he refused.g 1.163 And in 3 Edw. 6. was again madeh 1.164 Warden of the West Marches, and Go∣vernor of Carlisle. So likewise ini 1.165 1 Mariae. And in 1 Eliz. madek 1.166 Captain of the Castle at Carlisle. In 2 Eliz. he was joynedl 1.167 with the Earl of Northumberland and others, to Treat with the Earl of Morton, and certain Commissioners from Scotland, touching a Peace betwixt both Realms; which was there∣upon concluded.

Page 25

viz. Anne to Philip Earl of Arundel; Mary to Thomas Lord Howard of Walden (afterwards Earl of Suffolk) and Elizabeth to the Lord William Howard a younger son to Thomas Duke of Norfolk, amongst whom that great Inheritance was shared.

Which gave such discontent to Leonard Dacres, the next heir-male of this Family (viz. second son to the last mention'd William Lord Dacres) thaty 1.182, seeing he could not by course of Law make out any good Title thereto, he privily con∣federatedz 1.183 with the Earles of Northumber∣land and Westmorland, then ready to break out into open Rebellion; using his endeavour to rescue the Queen of Scots, at that time in the cu∣stody of George Earl of Shrewsbury. But, when he (unexpectedly) heard, that those Earles, then in Armes, were Proclaimed enemies to their Country; being at Court, he came to the Queen, and, offeringa 1.184 to use all his power to suppress them, was forthwith sent into the North for that purpose. Nevertheless (as it was after∣wards found) he heldb 1.185 intelligence with them, by secret Messengers, in his journey; with promise c 1.186 of Assistance from the Embassadors of some Forrein Princes. And, having, in the Queeens name, raisedd 1.187 a power of Soldiers; did design e 1.188 to murther the Bishop of Carlisle, and the Lord Scrope, then Warden of the West-Marches. Which, when he saw he could not effect; he pos∣sest f 1.189 himself of the Castles of Greistoke, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉, with other Houses of Dacres inheri∣tance, and fortified them in his own right; ha∣ving gotg 1.190 together no less than three thousand of the Border-Robbers to his aide, with many others who were Friends to his Family. But, finding himself too weak for those Forces, which were coming towards him; he fledh 1.191 into Scot∣land; and, in a short time after, was attainted i 1.192 in Parliament, with those two great Earles, with whom he had thus conspired.
