Episode description

Let's get to know a little bit about the Sinclairs and lay the foundation for the story of the Battle of Summerdale.  The Sinclairs are a really interesting clan that controlled a large territory in the far north of Scotland as the Earls of Caithness.  They had other branches of the family.  How did these branches interact with each other?  Were they a cohesive unit, who all acknowledged the same chief?   My website: www.scottish-clans.com Contribute to the cause:  www.scottish-clans.com/team Sponsor:  www.usakilts.com  Sinclair Pedigree starting with William, 3rd Earl of Orkney: https://www.maryqueenofscots.net/scottish-family-trees-in-the-16th-century/the-sinclairs-of-caithness-and-the-lords-sinclair/ Super deep dive into Sinclair origins: http://www.stclairresearch.com/content/Sinclair-Templar-Proof.html The Saint-Clairs of the Isles: https://archive.org/details/saintclairsofisl00sain  Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland: https://archive.org/details/genealogicalhist00gord
