Thomas Scrope, 10th Baron Scrope of Bolton
- Thomas Scrope, 10th Baron Scrope of Bolton
Thomas le Scrope, 10th Baron Scrope of Bolton (1567 – 2 September 1609) was the son of Henry le Scrope, 9th Baron Scrope of Bolton and Margaret Howard, daughter of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey.
In 1584, he married Philadelphia Carey, daughter of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon and Ann Morgan. They had one child Emanuel Scrope, 1st Earl of Sunderland. While Scrope was Warden of the West March, the outlaw Kinmont Willie Armstrong was arrested (in violation of a truce day) and imprisoned at Carlisle Castle. Scrope had only recently been appointed to the post of Warden, and he was unsure of what to do with an outlaw who had been illegally arrested. On 13 April 1596, as a result of a raid orchestrated by Walter Scott, 1st Lord Scott of Buccleuch, Kinmont Willie was freed. In a failed attempt to recapture Kinmont Willie, Scrope "burnt the towns of Annan and Dumfries to the ground, capturing two hundred prisoners whom he marched home 'naked, chained together on leashes'. This caused a major diplomatic incident." [ [http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/ThomasScrope(10BBolton).htm tudorplace.com] Accessed June 19, 2007 ]
