Philadelphia Carey Submitted by Margaret Fergus.

Title: Baroness Scrope of Bolton, Mascham, and Upsall Other names: Mrs. Thomas Scrope Dates: circa 1552 - 3rd February 1627

Philadelphia Carey was born around 1552. Her parents were Sir Henry Carey (1525/6- 1596), the first Baron of Hunsdon, and Anne Morgan. Her father was a cousin of Queen Elizabeth I of England and he served as Warden of the Eastern Marches on the Scottish border; Chamberlain of the Household, twice Member of Parliament for Buckingham. She had 10 surviving brothers and sisters. Thomas, Catherine, George, Henry, Michael, John, Edmund, Robert, Mary (Margaret), and William.

Philadephia was one of Queen Elizabeth I of England’s ladies in waiting. This meant that Philadelphia spent much of her time living on the Scottish borders when she was growing up or later on at Court.

In 1584 she married Thomas Scrope (1567-1609), 10th Baron Scrope of Bolton, Mascham and Upsall, who became Member of Parliament for Cumberland and Warden of the English West March.

They had one son, Em(m)anuel, 1st Earl of Sunderland (1584-1630)who became Lord President of King James VI of Scotland, I of England’s Council in the North.

Effigies of all three members of the family adorn their tomb in Langar Village Church, Nottinghamshire where she died on 3rd February, 1627.

When Elizabeth I died in 1603 at Richmond Palace, there were attempts to keep it secret until the nobles could work out what to do next since there were many claimants to the throne. However, a version of the story is that Robert Carey, Philadelphia‘s brother and first Earl of Monmouth, decided to ride north to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh to inform King James VI of Scotland of her death. Philadelphia took Elizabeth’s blue ring, probably a sapphire, given to her by King James, from her finger and threw it down to her brother who took it with him as evidence that he was telling the truth.

King James would be Elizabeth’s successor and become King James I of England.

This episode, and Philadelphia’s part in it, is recorded in an embroidered panel as part of the Great Tapestry of Scotland, first exhibited in the Scottish Parliament.

Lady Scrope was a lady-in-waiting at the time of Queen Elizabeth I death in 1603

• Thomas le Scrope, 10th Baron Scrope of Bolton (1567 – 2 September 1609) was the son of Henry le Scrope, 9th Baron Scrope of Bolton and Margaret Howard, daughter of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey.
• He was knight of the shire (MP) for Cumberland from 1584 to 1586 and from 1588 to 1593.[1]
• He held the office of Warden of the English West March from 1593 until the Union of the Crowns of England and Scotland in 1603. He was made a Knight of the Garter in 1599.
• While Scrope was Warden, the outlaw Kinmont Willie Armstrong was arrested (in violation of a truce day) and imprisoned at Carlisle Castle. Scrope had only recently been appointed to the post of Warden, and he was unsure of what to do with an outlaw who had been illegally arrested. On 13 April 1596, as a result of a raid orchestrated by Walter Scott, 1st Lord Scott of Buccleuch, Kinmont Willie was freed. In a failed attempt to recapture Kinmont Willie, Scrope "burnt the towns of Annan and Dumfries to the ground, capturing two hundred prisoners whom he marched home 'naked, chained together on leashes'. This caused a major diplomatic incident." [2]
• He died at the village of Langar in Nottinghamshire, England in 1609. In 1584, he had married Philadelphia Carey, daughter of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon and Ann Morgan. They had one child Emanuel Scrope, 1st Earl of Sunderland. In the village church at Langar is to be found a magnificent memorial to him. His tomb is adorned with an effigy of himself, his wife and their son Emmanuel.
