Notes

King of the Isle of Man. "William le Scrope, eldest son of Richard 1st Baron Scrope of Bolton was born around 1350, possibly 1351. It can't have been much later than this as he is with the Teutonic Knights in Lithuania and then after with John of Gaunt in his dash to Harfleur in 1369. William was part of Gaunt's retinue when he rode into Guienne in July 1373 and was back there with him again in 1378. He was made Seneschal of Gascony between 1383-1392 and combined it with the Captaincy of Brest between 1386-89. During this period he was continuously absent from England but at some point committed a crime or bad deed against the Bishop of Durham. He was ordered by King Richard II to offer the Bishop a jewel to the value of £500 as a good will gesture but little else is known of the matter. On his return in 1393 the King made him vice-chamberlain of the Household and retained his services for life, as was the fashion of the day. On being made vice-chamberlain he was granted the castle and manor of Marlborough in Wiltshire.

In the same year his father purchased for him the Isle of Man from the earl of Salisbury giving him the official title 'Dominus de Man'. He quickly became a favourite of King Richard and started to pick up titles and land from disinherited nobles and in the process was made earl of Wiltshire. This didn't go down too well with some of the Barons and did not bode well for Scrope. In 1394 he became Constable of Beaumaris, a Knight of the Garter and made Constable of Dublin Castle. William also took a prominent role in repealing the patent granted to Henry Bolingbroke, Duke of Hereford, John of Gaunt's son, gaining succession to his titles and land should his father die while he was in exile. This was a bad move by Scrope, as when Henry returned from exile in 1399 he captured William le Scrope along with Sir John Bussy and Sir Henry Grene after they taken refuge in the City of Bristol. The three were executed immediately by Bolingbroke and Scrope's head was carried in a white basket to London where it was placed on London Bridge. Later, when Bolingbroke became King Henry IV, the sentences were confirmed by Parliament with all their possessions and titles forfeit to the crown."
