William le Scrope, Earl of Wiltshire of the
1397 creation and the claim to |
|
|
|
|
the Earldom made in the 1860s |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
William le Scrope was created Earl of Wiltes
[i.e. Wiltshire] by King Richard II in 1397. This |
|
|
|
creation was somewhat unusual in that the
peerage was expressed to have the limitation |
|
|
|
|
that it was inheritable by heirs male forever
("sibi et heredibus suis masculis in perpetuum") |
|
|
|
without the usual additional words "de
corpore suo" (of the body). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As far as I am aware, only five other peerages
have ever been created using this form of words. |
|
|
|
These peerages are (1) the Earldom of Oxford
created in 1392; (2) the Barony of Hoo created |
|
|
|
in 1447; (3) the Barony of Egremont created in
1449; (4) the Barony of Richemount-Grey |
|
|
|
created in 1450; and (5) the Earldom of Devon
created in 1553. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the same day, King Richard II had promoted a
number of other existing peers to higher ranks |
|
|
|
of the peerage - for example, the Dukes of
Surrey and Norfolk, and the Earls of Worcester, |
|
|
|
Westmorland and Gloucester. The descent of all
of these other creations were limited to heirs |
|
|
|
male of the body of the grantee, whereas
Wiltes's limitation, as previously noted, was to heirs |
|
|
|
male forever, possibly because he had no
children to inherit the title. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1399, while Richard II was on a military
campaign in Ireland, Henry of Bolingbroke, Duke of |
|
|
|
Lancaster, son of John of Gaunt, returned to
England from exile and in a short period gained |
|
|
|
enough power to be able to depose Richard II on
30 September 1399, and thus become King |
|
|
|
Henry IV. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Soon after Lancaster had landed in England, the
Earl of Wiltshire, together with three other |
|
|
|
members of the Council of Regency appointed to
administer the kingdom in the absence of King |
|
|
|
Richard II, fled to Bristol, where they were
captured by Lancaster's forces in late July 1399. |
|
|
|
On 30 July 1399, Wiltes, together with Sir John
Bussy (former Speaker of the House of |
|
|
|
|
Commons), and Sir Henry Green, were executed,
while the remaining member, Sir William Bagot, |
|
|
|
was imprisoned in the Tower of London.
Subsequently, shortly after Lancaster had ascended |
|
|
|
to the throne, the Earl of Wiltes's attainder
was declared in Parliament. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During the decade of the 1860s - that is, over
460 years after the death of the Earl of Wiltes - |
|
|
|
the House of Lords Committee for Privileges
heard a claim to the earldom made by Simon |
|
|
|
|
Thomas Scrope, of Danby on Yore, in Yorkshire.
He claimed the peerage as being the heir male |
|
|
|
of the first Earl, through Roger Scrope, the
brother of William le Scrope. During the course of |
|
|
|
the hearings, Simon was able to prove that he
was indeed the heir male general of the 1st Earl. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In normal circumstances, an Act of Attainder
results in the forfeiture of any honours and |
|
|
|
|
dignities such as peerages. It was argued by
the claimant that the subsequent attainder of |
|
|
|
the Earl should be disregarded, since the
execution of the Earl did not in itself amount to an |
|
|
|
Act of Attainder, inasmuch as having been taken
prisoner by the Duke of Lancaster, who was |
|
|
|
not at that time the King, he was put to death
without being tried by his peers, as would |
|
|
|
|
normally be required for an Act of Attainder to
be effective. In addition, even if Wiltes had |
|
|
|
stood trial before his execution, which appears
to be doubtful, any such trial would not |
|
|
|
|
have been a trial for an offence against a reigning sovereign, and
therefore could not be |
|
|
|
|
deemed to be a trial for treason. Any trial
which occurred was because Wiltes was in opposition |
|
|
|
to Lancaster, who at the time was merely a
nobleman who had invaded the reigning monarch's |
|
|
|
kingdom, holding possession by military power,
and the subsequent elevation of Lancaster to |
|
|
|
the throne did not in any way alter the
character of the acts with which Wiltes had been |
|
|
|
|
charged and for which he had been subsequently
executed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Henry IV's first Parliament, the House of
Commons "prayed that the pursuit, arrests, and |
|
|
|
the judgments, and whatever else was done
against Sir William Scrope and others should be |
|
|
|
held good, and the King declared that he would
have and hold the lands of Sir William Scrope |
|
|
|
by conquest." The claimant, however,
contended that the subsequent proceedings in |
|
|
|
|
Parliament was not in the nature of an act of
Parliament, and even if it had been it would not |
|
|
|
have been interpreted as being an Act of Attainder. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eventually, in May 1869, the Committee for
Privileges ruled that to reverse a judgment which |
|
|
|
had been made 470 years previously, and
hitherto unquestioned, would be a most dangerous |
|
|
|
precedent. One of the members of the Committee,
Lord Chelmsford, commented in his |
|
|
|
|
judgment that it "seemed to him that it
would be improper for the Committee, given the |
|
|
|
|
obscurity which surrounded the proceedings, to
conjecture that in the forfeiture of everything |
|
|
|
belonging to the Earl of Wiltes which was left
to forfeit, his earldom was spared and permitted |
|
|
|
to continue as an hereditary dignity." The
Committee therefore resolved that the claimant had |
|
|
|
not established his claim to the Earldom of Wiltes. |
|
|
|

Lord Windlesham died on 16 November 1962, when
a helicopter in which he was a passenger |
|
|
|
crashed into the sea off the coast of Wales. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
The following report appeared in 'The Times' on
17 November 1962:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lord Windlesham was missing last night from a
helicopter which crashed into the sea near the |
|
|
|
South Bishop lighthouse, off St. David's Head,
Pembrokeshire. Mr. John Cronin, M.P. for |
|
|
|
|
Loughborough, was among four men who were
rescued. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A Service passenger who died on board the
aircraft carrier Hermes after being picked up was |
|
|
|
named as Squadron Leader A.H. Stott, aged 38,
R.A.F. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An Admiralty spokesman said: "A Whirlwind
helicopter from H.M.S. Hermes ditched in the sea |
|
|
|
off St. David's Head this afternoon. The
helicopter was flying from the carrier to R.N.A.S. |
|
|
|
Brawdy, near Haverfordwest, with a crew of two
and three passengers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"On board were the pilot, Lt, J.E.
Ramsdale, R.N., Electrical Mechanic Hughes (aircrew |
|
|
|
|
member), Mr. Cronin, Lord Windlesham , and the
service passenger. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Helicopters from the carrier and from
Brawdy were airborne within a few minutes and four men |
|
|
|
were picked up by helicopter after about 20
minutes. Royal Naval helicopters from Brawdy have |
|
|
|
joined others from the Hermes in a search with
H.M.S. Duchess and the frigates Berwick, |
|
|
|
|
Scarborough and Lowestoft and the St. David's
lifeboat. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Mr. Cronin and Lord Windlesham were
spending a period at sea with H.M.S. Hermes which was |
|
|
|
exercising as part of her work-up before
beginning her commission in the Far East. She left |
|
|
|
Portsmouth on Tuesday. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The visits of Mr. Cronin and Lord
Windlesham were arranged as part of the Admiralty scheme |
|
|
|
to enable the members of both Houses to see the
fleet. Lord Windlesham's wife has been |
|
|
|
|
informed that her husband is missing." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a further report published on 19 November,
Mr. Cronin said that when the helicopter ditched |
|
|
|
he found himself in the cabin a quarter full of
water. "I saw a pale green patch in a rectangular |
|
|
|
area under the water and took it to bge the
door. I dived throught it……..I was pulled down |
|
|
|
some way as the helicopter was sinking but I
fought my way clear. I then swam a few yards |
|
|
|
underwater deliberately to get absolutely clear
and surfaced." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the subsequent inquest which was held on 17
January 1963, an affidavit submitted by the |
|
|
|
aircrew member, Hughes, stated that "when
we hit the water I was standing by Lord |
|
|
|
|
Windlesham, preparing to assist him out. Then
the aircraft rolled to starboard and water rushed |
|
|
|
in. I lost my grip on him." Hughes said he
struggled through the door of the sinking machine, but |
|
|
|
when he reached the surface there was no sign
of Lord Windlesham. The Coroner's Inquest |
|
|
|
returned a verdict of 'death by misadventure.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a final tragic note to the accident, the
wife of Squadron Leader Stott was found dead at |
|
|
|
her home in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire,
eight days after the crash which claimed her |
|
|
|
husband. |
