William Dacre, 3rd Baron Dacre, did the miraculous….in the reign of Henry VIII he survived a charge of treason under the Tudors! Yes, really, like this case! He was exonerated on 9 July 1534. The link below gives 1535.
“…Dacre was acquitted but as with all things Tudor there is a sting in the tale. Henry VIII fined him none-the-less….” Well, he would, wouldn’t he? Tudors always had their hands in other people’s purses. I mean, you find a man innocent and then fine him anyway? Nice one, ‘Enery. Your old man would have been proud of you.
I happened upon this story because of researching Westminster Hall, and came upon this site.
