There is proof in the Rolls of Parliament of his sitting. He attended Edward IV's first Parliament, 4 November 1461, being styled in the Journal "Dominus Scrop. de Upsale" or "Dominus d Scrop. de Upsale," in contradistinction to Lord Scrope of Bolton, who is styled simply "Dominus de Scrop" (Fane Fragment of the Lords' Journal, ed. Dunham, passim). It was probably he, and not John, Lord Scrope (of Bolton), who attended Edward on his entry into London, 21 May 1471 (Kingsford, English Historical Literature in the Fifteenth Century, page 375).
