Lady Scrope, lady-in-waiting to Elizabeth I

[AuchterMay]

Hi there,

While searching through some books, I discovered that a Lady Scrope (no
first name given) was a Lady-in-waiting to Elizabeth I. Also a Lord Scrope
was within the courtiers of Charles II. I assume that these are from the same
family? Since I have Scrope in my family tree, I am curious if anyone has a
tree to tell whom they might have been, in regards to the Scrope family tree.
I also think I recall an association with Richard III as well. The Scrope
family came to England with William the Conqueror and were peerage. I found a
small passage on them (the Scropes) in the Hinde book on Domesday. My tree:

Margaret Scrope married Sir Christopher Danby, Sr. of Swinton and
Farney, Yorkshire, England.

Margaret's father was Sir Thomas Scrope, 5th Baron of Marsham and
Upsal
1429-1474 He married Elizabeth Greystroke(Greystock) in 1453

Sir Thomas' father was John the 4th Baron Scrope B: 1388
D: November 15, 1455
Married Elizabeth Chaworth who died in 1486.

John's father is Henry, 3rd Baron Scrope of Marsham
Married to (?)

Before Henry is his father: Stephen, 2nd Baron Scrope
D: January 25, 1406
Married to Margery Welles, daughter of John, Lord Welles

His father was Henry, 1st Baron Scrope, B: 1315
D: July 31, 1391 in Calais, Normandy, France
Married to Joan Upsal.

And the first Scrope is Sir Geoffrey la Scrope

I have started working on this line recently, so do not have all the
children as yet.

I think Marsham should be Masham, in Yorkshire. The name is also
sometimes spelt Scroop in older sources, reflecting its pronunciation.

Somewhere along the line, a Richard Scrope was Archbishop of York and
is buried in York Minster. Other members of the family are mentioned
in Shakespeare - Sir Stephen Scroop in 'Richard II', Archbishop
Richard (as above) in 'Henry IV Parts 1 & 2', and an unnamed Lord
Scroop in 'Henry V'. I wouldn't like to vouch for the historicity of
any of the plot details :-) .
