William Dacre, 2nd Baron Dacre

In the final months of his life, he was also 3rd Baron Multon of Gilsland.

[1] Dacre inherited from his father (who commanded the English forces at the Battle of Dornock) the Barony of Dacre and from his mother that of Multon of Gilsland.

[4] Dacre held the Lancashire manors of Skelmersdale, Whiston, Speke, and Parr, and he obtained a charter for the holding of a three-day market and moveable fair at Prescot, then also in Lancashire, to begin on the Wednesday following Corpus Christi.

In this grant, Dacre is described as "parson of the church of Prescote", and he was undoubtedly its patron.

[5] Dacre died in 1361,[4] holding also the manor of Halton in Lancashire.
