Biography

Joan le Scrope was the daughter of Henry le Scrope^[1][2] and Joan.^[3][4][5] Her parents had lands in several counties, and her birth county is not known. Her birth date has been guesstimated as about 1340: her father was born in 1312;^[6][7] her husband was said to be age 15 in 1353, pointing to his birth year being about 1338; and her son Henry was said to be 28 in 1386,^[3] pointing to his birth year being about 1358.^[4][5]

In about 1350 (when what appears to be a bond for their marriage was dated^[3][8]) Joan married Henry FitzHugh,^[1][2] who became Lord FitzHugh on the death of his father in 1352.^[3][4][5] They had two sons:

• Henry, who became 3rd Lord FitzHugh^[1][3][4][5]

Magna Carta Project

This profile was developed for the Magna Carta Project by Michael Cayley on 23 September 2022 and was reviewed the same day by Thiessen-117.

Joan le Scrope appears in badged trails from the Batte Gateway Ancestors (Henry and Thomas) and the Mallory Gateways (Roger and Thomas) to Magna Carta Surety Baron Robert de Ros. These trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of Henry Batte's profile and the Magna Carta Trails section of Roger Mallory's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
