Biography[edit]

Scrope was the eldest son of Geoffrey le Scrope and his first wife, Ivetta. He 
succeeded his father in 1341.

In early life Scrope served in the Scottish campaign of 1333 and was knighted at 
Berwick, where he fought at the Battle of Halidon Hill. He served in Scotland again in 
1335 and in 1340 took part in the sea Battle of Sluys at the start of the Hundred Years 
War. In 1342 he served in Brittany and was present at the sieges of Vannes and 
Morlaix. He was in Flanders in 1345 and in 1346 fought as a banneret both at the 
Battle of Crécy and the Battle of Nevilles Cross. In 1347 he was at the siege of Calais 
and in 1350 in the sea battle off Winchelsea.

In November 1350 Scrope was summoned to the House of Lords as Lord Scrope, later 
Lord Scrope of Masham and in 1354 he was one of the ambassadors to Pope Innocent 
VI seeking to arbitrate between England and France.

Scrope served Edward III in Picardy in 1355 and at the siege of Berwick in 1357. In 
1357 he was a member of the commission to treat with the Scots for the liberation of 
David II, king of Scots, and for a truce. In 1359 he served under John of Gaunt in the 
great chevauchée toward Rheims, and in 1361 he was appointed Warden of Calais 
and Guînes until 1370. In 1369 he served under John of Gaunt in France; and in 1371
