Charlotte Dacre (ca. 1771 - 1825)

Charlotte Dacre (1771 or 1772 – 7 November 1825), born Charlotte King, was an English author of Gothic novels. Most references to her today are under the name Charlotte Dacre, but she first wrote under the pseudonym Rosa Matilda, and later adopted a second pseudonym to tease and confuse her critics. She later became Charlotte Byrne upon her marriage to Nicholas Byrne.
