The son of Thomas Dacre, 2nd Baron Dacre, by his marriage to Elizabeth Greystoke, Dacre succeeded his mother as Baron Greystock on 14 August 1516 and his father as Baron Dacre in 1525.[1] From his father, he inherited about 70,000 acres (280 km2) of land in Cumberland, 30,000 acres (120 km2) in Yorkshire and 20,000 acres (81 km2) in Northumberland.
He was Captain of Norham Castle in 1522–23, Steward of Penrith, Warden of the West Marches from 1527 to 1534 and again from 1549 until his death in 1563, Governor of Carlisle 1549 to 1551 and Warden of the Middle Marches from 1553 until 1555.[1] In 1534 he was accused of treason, being accused of holding unauthorised cross-border negotiations with the Scots, and was committed to the Tower on about 15 May 1534. He was tried in Westminster Hall and acquitted on 9 July 1534, to cheers, after defending himself in court for seven hours. However, he was fined heavily.[2]
In June 1528 he wrote from London to Cardinal Wolsey mentioning that he had been on a pilgrimage to Canterbury and had fallen from his horse, breaking his left arm, "overthwart a cart-spirn."[3]
