Dacre Castle

Dacre Castle was probably built by Margaret Multon, the wife of Ralph Dacre, in the middle of the 14th century.

Thomas de Multon, 1st Baron Multon of Gilsland

She married Ranulph (Ralph) de Dacre, whom she married because she found him chivalrous and against her father's wishes but he later approved when he found out that the family was a match to his own in estate and power, according to the Moulton Annals.
