Narrative

Succeeded his father as Baron of Bolton. His brother and a cousin lost their heads to Henry IV. He was recognized as a "loyal knight" and on his elder brother's death became heir to his father. The next nine generations continued the family tradition as both warriors and politicians, their history being the history of England (and, in respect of their battles, of France and Scotland too). But the last Lord Scrope, Emanuel (created Earl of Sunderland), who died in 1630 and is buried, as are his parents, in the church ("the cathedral of the Vale" next to the house), had no children by his wife Elizabeth, the daughter of John Manners, 4th Earl of Rutland. He did, however, find time to father four bastards onto Martha James, a servant, the daughter of a tailor. The youngest of these, Annabella, was granted in 1663 the precedence and privileges of the legitimate daughter of an earl.
