3rd Lord Scrope of Masham and Upsal. He fought for Henry IV at Shrewsbury in 1403 and created lord treasurer in 1410. His marriage to Joan, the widow of the duke of York, in 1411, may have changed his allegiance. He was charged with involvement in the earl of Cambridge's plot. He admitted knowledge of it all, but said that he had been gathering evidence for King Henry V and had been about to make a full disclosure. He was executed outside of Southampton and his head was sent north to be placed on a spike over Micklegate Bar in York, and there left to rot. Shakespeare describes him as "the bedfellow" of Henry V and he had obviously been a trusted confidante. Henry was furious at his betrayal.
