Adrian Scrope

Colonel Adrian Scrope (Circa 1601 - October 17 1660) was the thirty seventh of the fifty nine Commisoners who signed the Death Warrent of King Charles I in January of 1649 after the English Civil War. Eleven years later, during the Restoration of the monarchy, Adrian Scrope was tried and found guilty of being a Regicide and was executed. He suffered the usual cruel punishment for high treason at that time of being hanged, drawn and quartered.
