  === Life Sketch ===
  The first well-documented ancestor of the Yorkshire Scropes appears to be Robert le Scrope (1134 – aft.1198), who is described as the son of the aunt of Alice de Gant, Countess of Northampton by her husband Richard le Scrope.
  
  The Scrope family appear to be related and allied to the Gant family in the 12th century, and possibly trace their origins to Lincolnshire or Northamptonshire.

  • Background Information. 141
  In 1166 a Robert Scrope is returned as holding a knight's fee of Earl Simon. He can be identified with the Robert, son of Richard Scrope and of his wife Agnes, daughter of Richard FitzGilbert of Clare and sister of Gilbert and Roger, Earls of Hertford, to whom Alice de Gant, "comitissa," daughter of Gilbert de Gant and wife of Earl Simon, confirmed all the land which his antecessores had held of her antecessores and of herself in Barton on Humber, namely, a quarter of the vill, to hold by service of half a knight's fee. The other half fee held by Robert has not been conclusively identified, though it may, as Farrer has suggested, have lain in Flotmanby. From Robert, who may be the Robert Scrope of Barton who died at Acre in 1190, the holding in Barton, or part of it, descended in the male line through his son Walter to his great-greatgrandson Joice who died in 1304. In the 12th and early 13th centuries there were a number of Scropes holding in Barton and Flotmanby; but there is no satisfactory evidence to identify their holdings, or to determine their relationships. It can, however, be suggested with confidence that Philip Escrop and his brother Simon were members of the family whose senior line was represented by Robert Scrope of Barton on Humber in 1166. Philip Scrope was in 1194 assisting William de Stuteville in accounting for the revenues of the Archbishopric of York, and in 1201, 1202, and 1203 was acting as his deputy sheriff of Westmorland and Cumberland. In 1204 he was dead, being returned as responsible for a sum paid to the sheriff of Cumberland, for which his heirs were to answer. He married Alice, who survived him. His daughters by Alice were married, Maud to Thomas, son of Adelard de Willardby; and Alice to Ives, son of Walter de Staxton, also described as Ives de Willardby.
