Notes: illegitimate son of Thomas, 2nd Lord Dacre of Gillesland, K.G. In 1542 war broke out between England and Scotland. James V being on the side of Rome, was unfavourable to his uncle, the English King, whose policy was to renew the claims made by Edward I to superiority over the kingdom of Scotland. A Scottish army entered the West Marches of England and was put to rout on 14 Nov 1542, by a few hundred borderers under Sir Thomas Dacre, the Bastard, and Jack Musgrave of Bewcastle. Sir Thomas Dacre was rewarded in the following year by a grant of some of the possessions of the dissolved House of Lanercost. This illegitimate son's will is at York, 9 May 1552, proved 12 Jun 1556, and from him is descended the Dacres of Lanercost (see Burn and Nicolson, ii, 503).

George DACRE (5º B. Gillesland/ 4º B. Greystoke)
Born: ABT 1560
Died: 17 May 1569
Notes: was entrusted to his guardian, the Duke of Norfolk. Young George shared his brief childhood at Thetford with his three sisters who were prospective co-heiresses. Fell off a vaulting wooden horse, upon which he practised to leap, aged nine and died, which meant that the vast Dacre estates which covered great tracks of the north of England- including 70,000 acres of the Barony of Gillesland, lands in Cumberland including Greystoke and Dacre, 20,000 acres around Morpeth and 30,000 acres in Yorkshire- all came under the control of the Howard family. The children's uncle, Lord Leonard Dacre, was so incensed that his claim to be male heir was filed in the court whose marshal was the Duke of Norfolk himself. The court was therefore adapted for the Duke's defence, but the final verdict prohibited Lord Dacre's descent to the barony.
