The SINCLAIRS go back to Woldernus, Count de Saint Clair, of Normandy, France, who entered England with the 11th century Norman conquerors of Britain. His descendant William de St. Clair was granted the baronial estate of Roslin in the Scotch county of Midlothian in A.D. 1150. Other descendants lived in Suffolk, England. The town and estate of Saint Clair, Normandy, were named for Saint Clair, a 3rd century bishop of Nantes. “Clair,” a given name, meant “illustrious one.” The French surname Saint was altered to Sinclair in Scotland and England. Sir William Sinclair died in 1329 fighting the Moors in Spain. He was accompanying Sir James Douglas, to whom was entrusted the heart of the Scotch hero-king Robert Bruce, for burial in the Holy Land. The Sinclair coat-of-arms has a ship at anchor with furled sails, centered on a blue shield.
