.
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 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
