LADY CHAPEL Archbishop
Scrope (ex 1405) tomb chest with four shields in quatrefoils.
Richard Scrope, who had at first remained neutral, certainly
initiated the northern rebellion against the first Lancastrain King,
Henry lV, perhaps drafting but certainly approving manifestoes
against the King which were being circulated and posted on church
doors in York, the accusations being similar to those made by Hotspur
at an earlier rebellion. The Archbishop and the Earl Marshal
gathered an army outside York with the intention of going
north to meet up with the Earl of Northumberland. Ralph Neville,
Earl of Westmorland (who had remained loyal to the King, perhaps
because the rival house of Percy of Northumberland were constantly
disloyal), with Prince John, Henry's son, met up with
the rebels at Shipton Moor, six miles outside the city. Although
promising to parley with the Archbishop and persuading him to disband
his army, he arrested the Archbishop and the Earl Marshal as traitors
and they were taken to Henry at York. Despite pleading from the
Archbishop of Canterbury, who had hastened to York, both the
Archbishop and Earl Marshal were beheaded, after a quick trial,
outside the city. Miracles were soon reported at Scrope's tomb.
For this act Henry received absolution from the Pope. The King
had generally been lenient towards those who took part in the
many rebellions against him, executing only the principal leaders,
but with the Archbishop it was different. When Henry became
seriously ill shortly after the execution, he may well have started
to agree with those who felt that this was God's punishment for
the execution of an Archbishop. Archbishop Bowet (ob 1423)

Many of the Sculptors and Artists do not have individual
web sites devoted to them that I have yet found; I should be grateful
for any information from visitors to this site for any that I am
unaware of. The Courtauld Institute of Art produces an excellent
data base which will give further information about these people
as well as those with their own sites:
