Biography
William was son and heir of Ranulf de Dacre, who died in 1286 holding manors and lands in Over Kellet, (Bare) and Heysham; Lancs. Inq. and Extents, i, 263. The last-named manor descended independently. Joan widow of Ranulf de Dacre occurs in 1292. [1]
Benedict Gernet in 1280 surrendered his tenement to Edmund lord of Lancaster in order that the tenure might be modified; thenceforward Halton and the other manors were to be held of the earl by the fourth part of a knight's fee and the rent of £5 yearly. Soon afterwards, before 1292, by the marriage of Joan daughter and heir of Benedict to William de Dacre of Dacre Halton passed to this family, the said William in 1297 holding the fourth part of a fee in Halton and Fishwick. He obtained a grant of free warren in 1303. Though the Dacres and their heirs held Halton for about three centuries, their history belongs to Cumberland and there is little trace of their interest in Lancashire. [2]
