Ralph Dacre, 3rd Baron Dacre (died 1375) was an English noble and clergyman. He was the third son of Ralph Dacre, 1st Baron Dacre and his wife Margaret de Multon, 2nd Baroness Multon of Gilsland, with two older brothers (William and Thomas) and one younger brother (Hugh). He would become the second of three of the brothers to succeed to the title of Baron Dacre. [1]
As the third son, Ralph Dacre pursued a clerical career. He was placed as the rector of the church of Prescot in 1346 (while still several months below canonical age), and was confirmed in this position in 1350 by Pope Clement VI. He is mentioned as "parson of Prescot" in visitation pedigrees, and he retained his position as rector until shortly before his death in 1375, when he resigned in favour of John Fairfax. [2]
Ralph Dacre succeeded to the title of Baron Dacre in 1361, on the death of his eldest brother William without issue (the next-oldest brother, Thomas, also being dead without issue before this time). [3] He was summoned to Parliament in 1362. His time as baron was turbulent, with a particularly violent feud developing that would ultimately claim his life. In 1373, Nicholas Harrington led an armed party against Dacre's lands that caused extensive damage, including the destruction of buildings and the theft of cattle and other valuables. [4]
Ralph Dacre died intestate, unmarried, and childless in 1375. His brother Hugh succeeded him as the fourth Baron Dacre.
Earl of Carlisle is a title that has been created three times in the Peerage of England.
Baron Dacre is a title that has been created three times in the Peerage of England, each time by writ.
Baron Saye and Sele is a title in the Peerage of England held by the Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes family. The title dates to 1447 but it was recreated in 1603. Confusion over the details of the 15th-century title has led to conflicting order for titleholders; authorities such as Burke's Peerage and Debrett's Peerage do not agree on whether or not the 1447 creation is still extant.
Baron Stafford, referring to the town of Stafford, is a title that has been created several times in the Peerage of England. In the 14th century, the barons of the first creation were made earls. Those of the fifth creation, in the 17th century, became first viscounts and then earls. Since 1913, the title has been held by the Fitzherbert family.
Earl of Chichester is a title that has been created three times, twice in the Peerage of England and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The current title was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1801 for Thomas Pelham, 2nd Baron Pelham of Stanmer.
Earl of Lonsdale is a title that has been created twice in British history, firstly in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1784, and then in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1807, both times for members of the Lowther family.
The Dukedom of Chandos was a title that has been created twice in the Peerage of England. First created as a barony by Edward III in 1337, its second creation in 1554 was due to the Brydges family's service to Mary I during Wyatt's rebellion, when she also gave them Sudeley Castle. The barony was elevated to a dukedom in 1719, and it finally fell into abeyance in 1789, after 452 years.
Baron Multon of Gilsland was a title in the Peerage of England. It was created when on 26 August 1307 Thomas de Multon was summoned to parliament. At his death, his daughter Margaret inherited the title; she married Ralph Dacre, who was summoned to parliament as Baron Dacre and not as Baron Multon in 1321. If the Multon barony was extant thereafter, it can be supposed to have descended with the new Dacre one.
Thomas Dacre, 2nd Baron Dacre of Gilsland, KG was the son of Humphrey Dacre, 1st Baron Dacre of Gilsland and Mabel Parr, daughter of Sir Thomas Parr of Kendal by his wife, Alice Tunstall, as well as great-aunt of queen consort Catherine Parr, the sixth and final wife of Henry VIII.
The Barrett-Lennard Baronetcy, of Belhus in the County of Essex, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 30 June 1801 for Thomas Barrett-Lennard, subsequently Member of Parliament for Essex South. He was the illegitimate son and testamentary heir of Thomas Barrett-Lennard, 17th Baron Dacre. He was succeeded by his grandson, the second Baronet, the son of Thomas Barrett-Lennard, Member of Parliament for Maldon. His son, the third Baronet, was childless and was succeeded by his younger brother, the fourth Baronet. This line of the family failed on the death in 1977 of his son, the fifth Baronet, who died without male issue. The late Baronet was succeeded by his third cousin once removed, the sixth Baronet. He was the son of Sir Fiennes Cecil Arthur Barrett-Lennard, Chief Justice of Jamaica, son of Captain Thomas George Barrett-Lennard, son of the first marriage of George Barrett-Lennard, son of John Barrett-Lennard, second son of the first Baronet. The sixth Baronet was a Catholic clergyman. As of 2014 the title is held by his second cousin, the seventh Baronet, who succeeded in 2007. He is the grandson of Trenchard Barrett-Lennard, son of the aforementioned George Lennard-Barrett by his second marriage. As of 31 December 2013 the present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered vacant since 2007.

His two older brothers preceded him in the barony, but both died childless. His brother William, the second baron, married but died childless in 1361. His brother Ralph, the third baron, was a clergyman who died unmarried and without issue in 1375. Hugh may have been implicated in his predecessor's death; he and Nicholas Harrington were excommunicated by the Archbishop of York, likely in connection with the murder, and they were both presented for the murder at Preston, though they escaped long-term repercussions.
