king's See also:bench and prominent supporters of the See also:court in the reign of See also:Edward II. Henry was See also:father of See also:RICHARD LE SCROPE, 1st See also:Baron Scrope of Bolton (c. 1327—1403), See also:chancellor of See also:England, an active adherent of See also:John of Gaunt. Having been See also:knight of the See also:shire of Yorkshire in the See also:parliament of 1364, he was summoned to the upper See also:house as a baron by See also:writ in 1371, when he was made treasurer and keeper of the See also:great See also:seal. In 1378 See also:Lord Scrope became chancellor, in which See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office he attempted to curb the extravagance of Richard II., an offence for which he was deprived of office in 1382. Scrope engaged in several disputes with regard to his armorial See also:bearings, the most celebrated of which was with Sir Richard Grosvenor as to his right to the See also:shield blazoned " See also:Azure, a See also:bend or," which a court of See also:chivalry decided in his favour after a controversy extending over four years. Both as a soldier and a statesman Lord Scrope was a See also:man of high attainments, his integrity and prudence being conspicuous. His eldest son WILLIAM (c. 1350—1399) was created See also:earl of See also:Wiltshire in 1397 by Richard II., of whose evil See also:government he was an active supporter. Wiltshire bought the See also:sovereignty of the Isle of Man from the earl of See also:Salisbury. In 1398 he became treasurer of England. His See also:execution at See also:Bristol was one of the first acts of Henry IV., and the irregular See also:sentence of an improvised court was confirmed by that monarch's first parliament. Wiltshire's father, Lord Scrope, and his other sons were not included in the See also:- ATTAINDER (from the O. Fr. ataindre, ateindre, to attain, i.e. to strike, accuse, condemn; Lat. attingere, tangere, to touch; the meaning has been greatly affected by the confusion with Fr. taindre, teindre, to taint, stain, Lat. tingere, to dye)
attainder, but received full See also:pardon from Henry. Scrope, who was the builder of Bolton See also:Castle, his See also:principal See also:residence, died in 1403. He was succeeded in the See also:barony by his second son, See also:Roger, whose descendants held it till 163o. HENRY, 9th Baron Scrope of Bolton (1534—1592), was See also:governor of See also:Carlisle in the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time of See also:Elizabeth, and as such took See also:charge of See also:Mary See also:Queen of Scots when she crossed the border in 1568; and he took her to Bolton Castle, where she remained till See also:January 1569. He was grandfather of See also:Emmanuel Scrope, 11th baron (1584—1630), who was created earl of See also:Sunderland in 1627; on his See also:death without legitimate issue in 163o the earldom became See also:extinct, and
the immense estates of the Scropes of Bolton were divided among his illegitimate See also:children, the chief portion passing by See also:marriage to the See also:marquis of See also:Winchester, who was created See also:duke of Bolton in 1689; to the Earl See also:Rivers; and to John Grubham See also:Howe, ancestor of the earls of Howe. The barony of Scrope of Bolton seems then to have become dormant; but the See also:title might, it would appear, be claimed through the See also:female See also:line by the representative of See also:Charles See also:- JONES

From See also:Stephen, third son of the 1st Baron Scrope of Bolton, were descended the Scropes of Castle See also:Combe, Wiltshire, the last of whom was William Scrope (1772—1852), an artist and author, who was an intimate friend of Sir See also:Walter See also:Scott. His daughter married See also:George Poulett See also:Thompson (1797—1876), an eminent geologist and prolific See also:political writer, who took the name of Scrope, and who after his wife's death sold Castle Combe, of which he wrote a See also:history. Probably from the same See also:branch of the family was descended See also:Adrian Scrope, or Scroope (16oi—166o), who was prominent on the parliamentarian See also:side in the See also:Civil See also:War, and one of the signatories of Charles I.'s death See also:warrant.
