The surname of INGLIS, azure, a lion rampant, and in chief three stars argent.
INGLIS of Manor carried the same, as did Inglis of Torbet, who quartered them
with the arms of Torbet or Tarvit of that Ilk ; argent, a cheveron between three
wolves' heads, couped sable, as in Sir James Balfour's Blazons.
In the 6th year of King Robert Ill.'s reign, William Inglis got from that king
the barony of Manor, for killing Thomas de Struthers, an Englishman, as the
"
charter bears : In remunerationem facti nobilis, viz. interfectionis Thorme de
" Struthers Anglici militis, quern super marchiis in duello interfecit."
John Inglis of Manor obtains a charter of confirmation of his lands of Manor,
to himself, and his son and heir Thomas Inglis, from his superior, Archibald Duke
of Touraine, Earl of Douglas ; and the three stars in chief, carried by the name of
Inglis, I take to be arms of patronage, and carried by that name, upon the account
that they were vassals to the Douglases. Thomas Inglis of Manor made an excambion
of his lands of Brankesholm, Branshaugh, Goldylands, CMahitelaw, Quhitrig,
Todshaw-hills, and Todshaw-wood, which he held of the Douglases, with Sir
Walter Scot of Murthouston, for the lands of Murthouston and Heartwood, lying
in the barony of Bothwell in the shire of Lanark ; as by the charter of excambion,
dated at Edinburgh the 23d of July 1446, in which he is designed, Nobilis vir
Thomas Inglis de Manners ; and afterwards he and his family in other writs were
designed, Domini de Murtboustoun, or Murdistoun.
JOHN INGLIS, portioner of Newtonlees, whose grandfather Cornelius Inglis was
lawful son of Murdistoun, azure, a lion rampant argent, on a chief ingrailed of the
second ; three stars of the first ; crest, a star invironed with clouds, proper : motto,
In tenebrls hicidior. N. R.
Sir JOHN INGLIS of Cramond, Baronet, azure, a lion salient argent, on a chief or,
three mullets of the field ; crest, a demi-lion rampant argent, holding in his dexter
paw a mullet or : motto, Mr* dominus frustra. N. R. As in the Plates of Achievements.
Mr JOHN INGLIS, Advocate, descended of Inglis of Manor ; azure, a lion ram-
pant argent, on a chief of the. last ; three stars of the first within a bordure gules ;
crest, a demi-lion as the former, issuing out of the wreath : motto, Recte faciendo

GREY Earl of KENT, chief of the ancient and illustrious House of Grey, so dignified
in the reign of Edward IV. from whom are descended and branched the
Barons of Rotherfield, Codnore, Wilton, Ruthine, Groby, and Rugemont, the Viscount
of Lisle, the Earl of Stamford, the Marquis of Dorset, and the Duke of
Suffolk, all of that surname, derived from the Castle and honour of GREY (or Croy
as some write) in Picardy, their patrimony before the conquest, give for their
paternal bearing, barry of six, argent and azure, in chief three torteauxes gules ; as
Robert Dale, pursuivant, in his Catalogue of the Nobility of England. Henry
Earl of Kent 1 706, was created Marquis of Kent, Earl of Harold, and Viscount
Goodrich ; and afterwards in the year 1710, was advanced to the dignity of Duke
of Kent. In an old manuscript of arms, illustrated by the monks of Ely in the
reign of William the Conqueror, are the armorial bearings of his chief officers ;
