  General Notes:

"Innes, John (c. 1370\endash 1414), bishop of Moray, was probably related to the Moray family of Innes of that ilk. The chronology of his academic career may indicate that he was born about 1370. He studied in Paris for an unknown period in the 1380s or 1390s and had become bachelor of civil law by 1396 and of both laws by 1407."
