York (d. 6 July 1859, aged 49, who was not only a good Genealogist but was himself a descendant, thro' the families of Dawson and Pudsey, from John, 8th Lord Scrope de Bolton; this Ralph had 2 daughters, whereof one, Eleanor, m. Sir Ralph FitzRandblph of Spenithorn [Qi/. the same person as he who m. Elizabeth Scrope, her aunt ?] whose i»g. post mortem was held 18 Nov. (1515) 7 Hen. VIII. It is to be presumed that both these ladies (if indeed they ever existed) died v.p. and s.p. (o) See p. 84, note "g." ("') His birth, if in 1485, would make him 25 years younger than his eldest brother Thomas, the 6th Lord. (°) The coheirs were his three sisters or their descendants, viz. (1) Alice, who m. 7 Sep. 1472, Sir James Strangways, of Harlesey, Co. York (a coheir, by his mother, of the Barony of Kauconberg, and, by his grandmother of the Barony of Darcy), and was living 1490.

York, who d. 17 March 1517/8, leaving male issue. (3) Elizabeth, Ml. Sir Ralph Fit/.Randolph, of Spennithorne, co. York, both of whom were living 1498. Their five daughters were eventually their representatives. ( f ) This Sir John is the " Sir Scudamore," of Spencer's Fairy Queen. («) The long inscription thereon is given iu " Coll. Top. ct Gen. vol. iv, p- 256. It is noticeable (as illustrating the loose way in which titles are spoken of) that tho his monument styles him " Lord Viscount Scudamore  (no mention being made of "Sligo") that of his son is to "Dominus Scudamore, Vicecomes de Sligo." His studious, pious, and hospitable career gained him great respect. Archbishop Laud (when Bishop of St. David's) used frequently to visit him iu Herefordshire.
