        ELIZABETH SCROPE (d. June 26, 1537)
        Elizabeth Scrope was the daughter of Sir Richard Scrope (d.1485) and Eleanor Washbourne (d.1505/6). She married first, on April 24, 1486 at Westminster, William, 2nd viscount Beaumont (d. December 19, 1507). He lost his reason in 1487 and was placed in the care of John de Vere, 13th earl of Oxford at Wivenhoe, Essex until his death. In 1508, Elizabeth married Oxford (September 8, 1442-March 10, 1513). She was at court as one of Catherine of Aragon’s ladies in 1509. In his will, Oxford left Elizabeth "all manner of apparel to her person," silk cloth, and "chains, rings, girdles, devices, beads, brooches, ouches and precious stones." In 1520, she attended the Field of Cloth of Gold. In 1531, she bought the wardship of her nephew, John Audley (her sister Katherine's son by Richard Audley of Swaffham, Norfolk). She wrote her will on May 30, 1537 and it was proved on November 6, 1537. She was buried at Wivenhoe with her first husband. Portrait: brass at Wivenhoe.
