About Henry Scrope, 4th Baron Scrope of Bolton
- Henry Scrope, 4th Baron Scrope of Bolton (1418-1459) was a member of the English peerage in Yorkshire in the 15th century. Born 4 June 1418 to Richard Scrope, 3rd Baron Scrope of Bolton and Margaret Neville, he was still a minor when his father died in 1420.
- As such, his lands and marriageability were in the keeping of his uncle Sir Richard Neville until the young Scrope was 21.
- He appears to have remained living with his mother, who undertook not to marry him off (being held to a £1,000 bond not to do so).
- His inheritance was the subject of a brief feud between Richard Neville and Marmaduke Lumley, later Bishop of Carlisle, who had been patronised by Richard Scrope.
- Lumley's claim was, however, "successfully resisted" by Neville.
- Henry Scrope received seisin of his estates on 2 February 1439, and two years later he was summoned to parliament as a knight.
