This section provides as much biographical material as is currently known about the 125 'stranger' weavers resident, for shorter or longer periods, in the capital. Arranged in three categories - those who worked for the Queen in the Great Wardrobe, those who set up independently, and others where phonetic spelling leaves it uncertain whether they were tapestry or arras weavers or makers of gold lace (orris, orrice).
