Life History

Notes

• Henry was the First Baron Lord Scrope, but among his children they went through number 9 Lord Scrope, so many died after a short life.  It was a dangerous, perilous period, with plagues and wars.
  
  The meager records of the Millennium File collection reports one son of Henry Lord Scrope and his wife Joan, named John, who succeeded Henry as Lord Scrope of Masham.

  Other children are listed by some genealogies, and the following one lacks Etienne, as well as John.  Some genealogies report his birth place as Clifton Castle, in Clifton-upon-Ure, Yorkshire, England.  Some report this as his place of death ,while others report Ghent in Yorkshire.  Others report Clifton as Joan's palce of birth and Ghent, Yorkshire as Joan's place of death.

  Other sources report a different Yorkshire location for the death of Joan.  This appears to be the same location as reported by most sources for her birth.  I have not found a documentation for this location.
  
  Death 21 September 1349 in Clifton Castle, Clifton-Upon-Ure, Yorkshire
  
  It seems likely the Ghent location is the correct death place of Joan Agnes LeScrope, since some sources report that Henry also died there.  The latter report is somewhat vague, since often only the name of the city/village is given, and one might think that Ghent, Flanders, is intended.
  
  Jonathan Scrope in South Africa, brother of Scrope/Scroop researcher-compiler Mike Scroop, gave me the Scrope genealogy in disk file form.  Jonathan and Mike are my first cousins many, many times removed.  This genealogy provides what could be found at the time of Mike's research.

  Years of birth and death are uncertain, with much variation in sources.  Etienne in the first source, the only child reported there, matches the birth year of William in the second list.  John Scrope, the only child in the Millennium record above, does not appear by that name in the other lists.
