Biography

Robert le Scrope is mentioned in the will of his brother, John le Scrope, who gives to 'Robert Scrop, my broder my chamelett gowne' .^[1]

Foster's Pedigrees of the County Families of Yorkshire names him, a wife, Katherine (daughter of ? Zouche) and four daughters. ^[2]

Clay's The Extinct and Dormant Peerages of the Northern Counties of England^[3] gives a death date of 25 August 1500, burial at Hambleden, and also names his wife as Katherine, daughter of ? Zouche.

Victoria County History Volume 3, 'Parishes: Hambleden', mentions Robert Scrope's brass of which fragments only were remaining in 1925.^[4]

The birth date is an estimate and the death date is from the Clay reference.

Research Notes

Cockayne notes that John le Scrope son of Henry le Scrope and Elizabeth le Scrope had two brothers, Sir Richard Scrope and Ralph Scrope Rector of Hambleden, Bucks, and Archdeacon of Northumberland. He does not mention a Robert Scrope.^[5]

Burke also mentions that Henry le Scrope had three sons but only names the the eldest and heir John le Scrope.^[6]

Find a Grave gives a death date and inscription but is unsourced.^[7]

Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestry lists two sons for Robert's father Henry Le Scrope and his wife Elizabeth le Scrope (and two daughters).^[8]
