Randolph Dacre Humphrey Dacre Ralph Dacre Richard Dacre George Dacre John Dacre Joan Dacre Margaret Dacre Dacre (by marriage) Philippa Neville, Baroness Dacre (1386–after 1453) sometimes referred to as Philippe Neville, was the third daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, by his first wife, Margaret Stafford. Her great-grandfather was the infamous Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March.

Philippa's younger half-sister was Cecily Neville, making Edward IV and Richard III her nephews. Her younger half-brother was Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury. His son, also Philippa's nephew, was Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick who was nicknamed "Warwick the Kingmaker" and whose home and stronghold was Warwick Castle where he imprisoned his cousin, Edward IV.

Marriage and issue

Sometime before 20 July 1399, she married Thomas Dacre, 6th Baron Dacre of Gilsland, born at Naworth Castle, Cumberland, on 27 October 1387, the son of William Dacre, 5th Baron Dacre of Gilsland, by Joan Douglas, the illegitimate daughter of Sir William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas.

They had seven sons and two daughters:

  • Sir Thomas Dacre (d. before 5 January 1458), who married Elizabeth Bowet, and by her had two daughters, Joan Dacre, suo jure 7th Baroness Dacre, wife of Richard Fiennes, and Philippa Dacre, wife of Sir Robert Fiennes.
  • Ranulph or Ralph Dacre, 1st Baron Dacre of the North, who married Eleanor FitzHugh, by whom he had no issue. He was slain at the Battle of Towton on 29 March 1461, and attainted, whereby his title was forfeited.
  • Humphrey Dacre, 1st Baron Dacre of Gilsland (d. 30 May 1485), who married Mabel Parr (d. 14 November 1508), and by her had six sons and three daughters. It was through her third son Humphrey, who fought alongside his older brother Ranulph (or Ralph) at the Battle of Towton, that the male Dacre line and title continued.
  • Ralph Dacre.
  • Richard Dacre.
  • George Dacre.
  • John Dacre.
  • Joan Dacre, who married Thomas Clifford, 8th Baron de Clifford.
  • Margaret Dacre, who married John le Scrope.

Philippa's husband, Thomas Dacre, 6th Baron Dacre of Gilsland, died 5 January 1458. The date of Philippa's death is unknown, although she was living 8 July 1453.
