I removed the external links because the first one adds little to the article (it is about his genealogy, notably his alleged descent from Adrian Scrope), whereas the article is about his achievements. The second link appears to be linkspam. If that is incorrect, please restore with my apologies.

I also added "alleged" because this descent is unverified by professional genealogists (in any case, such a descent would be very hard to prove with documents missing). There is no scholarly article, no scholarly book about Adrian Scrope's descendants. For more, see my caveats on Adrian Scrope.
