Per Find A Grave resources, I would propose that her birth name may be spelled Scrope (Memorial #120493500) and she may be the daughter of Sir Richard Scrope (Memorial #101221281) and Lady Eleanor Washbourne Scrope Wyndham (Memorial #101419488).

According to Richard Scrope's bio on Find a Grave: His patrimony included the estate of Bentley near Doncaster, Langley Castle near Durham, and Weighton in Yorkshire. He married Eleanor Washbourne in the chapel at Sheriff Hutton Castle, belonging to the Earl of Warwick and Salisbury, with a license dated Nov. 25, 1467. Richard Scrope, esquire, of Bentley died testate with a will dated Apr. 4, 1485, which was proved before the Bishop of London, at Fulham on June 28, 1485. His will contained many bequests to various religious orders, and the usual array of plate, money, and jewels, including "my rynge wt the schelde to my lady, my moder." Also books written in French ["Franse bokes"] were left to his brother John, Baron Scrope of Bolton, and to Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk.
