Biography of Adrian Scrope Regicide 1601-1660

In 1597 [his father] Robert Scrope (age 27) and [his mother] Margaret Cornwall (age 24) were married.

In Nov 1624 Adrian Scrope Regicide (age 23) and Mary Waller were married.

On 05 Jul 1631 [his brother-in-law] Edmund Waller (age 25) and Anne Banks were married in defiance of orders of the Privy Council of England and the Court of Aldermen of the City of London whose ward she was. Her father had left her £8000 when he died a year earlier. The Aldermen made a complaint to the Star Chamber, seeking that for the offence of marrying Anne without the court's permission the whole of the Banks fortune should be forfeited to the City of London, but they were denied such an outcome by a pardon from King Charles (age 30), who took a more tolerant view of the matter. Waller was then summoned to appear before the Court of Aldermen in December 1631, when he agreed to make a jointure of £1,000 a year to his wife, also giving her the power to spend £2,000 of her inheritance, and the Court accepted this proposal but fined him 500 marks.

In 1644 [his brother-in-law] Edmund Waller (age 37) and [his mother-in-law] Mary Bracey were married.
