WILLIAM LE SCROPE, son and heir; of Wensley, was a witness in 1280 and 128
5. Sir Thomas de Roos of Kendal and Sir William Aton, both more than 80 ye
ars of age in 1386, deposed that Sir William Scrope, father of Henry the c
hief justice and his brother Geoffrey, was the most noble tourneour, or bo
hourdeour, of his time, even before he was knighted. He held in East Bolt
on in 1284-85 of the Earl of Richmond, in 1285-86 in Yafforth, in 1286-
87 in West Bolton, Little Bolton and East Bolton; and in 1296 obtained f
or himself and his heirs a grant of free warren in East and Little Bolto
n, Fencotes and Yarnwick. In September 1296, with Henry, he witnessed a gr
ant by the abbot of Fountains to Harsculf de Cleseby. In 1298 he was knigh
ted at the battle of Falkirk. He appears to have transferred the mano
rs of East and Little Bolton to his son Henry, since by deed dated 4 Ju
ne 1303 Henry granted these manors to his father William for life. He almo
st was dead before 1 February 1311/12. He married Constance, certainly dau
ghter of Thomas, son. of Gille de Newsom. [CP 11:533-4]
