John Scrope, 5th Baron Scrope of Bolton This Tudor baron backed the losing side again and again… and still kept his head. Today, I’m exploring the incredible life of John Scrope, 5th Baron Scrope of Bolton — a nobleman who seemed to have nine lives.
He fought at Towton, rebelled against Edward IV, supported Richard III, backed the pretender Lambert Simnel against Henry VII, and even attacked York...
And yet, he was pardoned. Every. Single. Time.
So, how did he do it? Was Scrope a master strategist, politically untouchable, or just plain lucky?
Join me as I uncover:
- Scrope’s wild ride through the Wars of the Roses
- His rebellion, capture, and miraculous reprieves
- The secret to his Tudor survival streak
Let me know in the comments — was Scrope savvy, slippery, or just well-connected? Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and ring that bell for more Tudor tales like this one.
