This ship was ordered in April 1691 to be built at Toulon Dockyard, and on 13 May she was allotted the name Sceptre.

The Sceptre was launched on 10 November 1691 and completed in March of the next year.

The Sceptre took part in the capture of Cartagena de Indias in May 1697, and later in the Battle of Vélez-Málaga on 24 August 1703.

She was scuttled at Toulon in July 1707 during the siege of that port, but was subsequently refloated.

She was condemned at Toulon on 18 December 1717, and on 12 January 1718 she was ordered to be taken to pieces.
