User ID: W296.
General Notes:
"James (Innes), of Rothiebrisbane and Muldavit, who appears to have been the eldest lawful heir of the 2nd marriage, and upon him his father settled the lands of Muldavit in 1491 (Familie of Innes, 87), but he subsequently quarrelled with his elder brother, who imprisoned him in 1493, the reason not being far to. seek. He had questioned not only his own elder brother's, but his eldest halfbrother (and chief's) legitimacy, since he styled himself 'son and heir of the late James Innes of that ilk.' (Great Seal, 2792. The assertion was unfounded, for Alexander, 14th Laird of Innes, is expressly termed grandson, heir, and successor of Sir James in a Court of Session action, 25 May 1542, Acta Dominorum Councilii et Sessionis, Vol. 19, f. 87.) He died apparently without issue, prior to 1510, when his lands of Rothiebrisbane were conferred by the Crown upon Robert Innes of Innermarkie. (Great Seal, No. 3533.)"
