Succeeded by William St. Clair |
Henry was the son of William Sinclair and Christian Leslie.[1][2]
He was created lord Sinclair, in the parliament of Edinburgh, Jan. 26, 1448. Henry was the son of William Sinclair; William was his father's first son and the expected heir to the earldom of Caithness. Unfortunately, he was known as "William the Waster" Sinclair, famous for profligacy, and the earl did not want to pass on his title or estate to this eldest son. The second son, Oliver, was not apparently a big spender, but he was the full brother of William the Waster. The third son, another William, was by the earl's second wife; perhaps she was seen as more trustworthy than his first wife? William the Waster was sent off without much of an inheritance, Oliver received the best of his father's land, and William the younger received the title. In fact, the younger William's son, Henry Sinclair, had the title Lord Sinclair bestowed upon him by the Scottish Parliament to make sure that the line of succession continued per his grandfather's wishes.
He married Margaret Hepburn, 3d daughter of Patrick, 1st earl of Bothwell,[3] and had issue;
He also had:
He died at the Battle of Flodden on 9 Sep 1513.[3][4]
