THE ANCIENT GLASS IN YORK MINSTER. 
The canopies have flying buttresses between pinnacles, the 
central one differs from the others in having two niches at the 
apex. 
The figures depicted are:—An archbishop in a blue chasuble, 
“J&anct Bosa arcfjups”; a king in a red robe, “ Sanctus ©sfruus 
Rri ”; a pope in a blue chasuble wearing a tiara with three 
crowns and holding a double crossed staff, “^anctus ^gatf)0 p.p. ’ ; 
another king of Northumbria, “ Klfritius But,” in a red robe, and 
an archbishop in a blue chasuble “ <ScS. ^Mfifritiag atdjcpg.'’ 
The shields are azure a bend or Scrope (Stephen 2nd Baron) 
differenced with an outlined lion ramp. (Henry, eldest son, 3rd 
Baron) and with crescent on shoulder of lion for second son (John, 
4th Baron) with annulet on shoulder of lion for third son Stephen, 
Archdeacon of Richmond, and fleur-de-lys on lion for fourth son 
Galfrid, the other mark of cadency for the fifth son is mutilated 
and was for William, master of St. Leonard's Hospital. 
This window commemorates Stephen, 2nd Baron Scrope of 
Masham, and his wife and five sons, and also his brother Richard, 
Archbishop of York. In the window all the shields bear az. a bend or 
but without the label of three points argent which usually dis¬ 
tinguishes this branch of the Scropes of Masham from that at 
Bolton. The outlined lion on the bend seems to have served the 
purpose of distinguishing the two branches. Sir Stephen Scrope 
(d. 1406) married Margaret, daughter of John, Lord Wells. Else¬ 
where in the Minster, in both stone and glass, this branch of 
Masham bears azure bend or with the label of 3 points argent. 
The borders to the shield panels bear golden crowns.
