| Notes |
- The Dacre family offers the leading case in peerage law involving issues of conflict arising from land tenure and representation of blood. «b»Joan Dacre«/b», according to modern peerage doctrine, was the seventh Baroness Dacre. She married in 1446 «b»Sir Richard Fiennes«/b». Another sister, «b»Phillippa Dacre«/b», married «b»Robert«/b» «b»Fiennes«/b», brother of «b»Sir Richard«/b», but she died without issue within her grandfather Dacre's time. «b»Sir Richard Fiennes«/b» was hereditary keeper of Herstmonceaux Castle, an office which descended in the family until the execution of the ninth baron. By patent of 7 Nov 1458 King «b»Henry VI«/b» accepted him as Lord Dacre, and by two writs in 1459 and 1482 «b»Fiennes«/b» was summoned to Parliament as Baron Dacre. In 1473 the King made the final award of the lands of the sixth Baron Dacre between the heir male, «b»Humphrey Dacre«/b», the younger of «b»Joan«/b»'s two uncles; and the heir general, «b»Richard Fiennes«/b», in right of his wife «b»Joan Dacre«/b». Most of the estates went to the heir male with remainder to the heir general while the peerage went to «b»Richard Fiennes«/b» in right of his wife. Peerage lawyers have claimed that «b»Richard Fiennes«/b»'s summons to parliament created a new barony; for, though his wife was a peeress in her own right, his summons was not a courtesy one. J. Horace Round held that the award of 1473 assigning the heir general and her husband precedence of the old barony, over that of the heir male, was a recognition of his wife's accession to the original barony.
