James Inglis (tailor)

The ruler of Scotland, Regent Moray bought him a horse in February 1569 for £30, provided by Jerome Bowie, the keeper of the king's wine cellar.

On 22 April 1571 two Marian supporters, Arthur Hamilton of Merrynton and Alexander Baillie of Lamington, captured him near St Cuthbert's Church in Edinburgh.

Inglis was released two days later after the Deacon of Crafts had spoken with William Kirkcaldy of Grange, Captain of Edinburgh Castle.

[10] In October 1590, James Inglis collaborated with another tailor, Alexander Miller, to make a costume for an African servant at court, who is known only as the "Moir",[11][12] including an orange velvet "jupe" and breeches and a doublet of shot-silk Spanish taffeta festooned with white satin passementerie.

She gave her clothes to family and friends and small token gifts to her husband's apprentices and her servant Helen Kello.

Inglis supplied clothes for four pages and a "Moir" in October 1590, Treasurer's Accounts , National Records of Scotland . [ 2 ]
