Notes for James Stewart 1st Earl of Moray
James Stewart, Earl of Moray (c. 1500–1544) was a Scottish nobleman and diplomat.

He was the illegitimate son of
James IV of Scotland and his mistress Janet Kennedy. He was created Earl of Moray in 1501. His upbringing included a period at Stirling Castle, in the care of Andrew Aytoun, and then he and his mother were moved to Darnaway Castle. He was young enough to avoid fighting at the disastrous Battle of Flodden in 1513.

He should not be confused with the two later and better-known 16th-century Earls of Moray who were also called James Stewart: his nephew
James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray, who was Regent during the minority of James VI, and this nephew's son-in-law James Stewart, 2nd Earl of Moray, who was The Bonny Earl of Murray of the famous ballad.
