  • Henry (I) Sinclair (v. 1345– v. 1400), comte d'Orkney, baron de Rosslyn et seigneur des Shetland, fut un noble écossais. Certains auteurs non académiques l'identifient au « prince Zichmni » dont le nom apparaît dans un livre écrit par un certain Nicolo Zeno de Venise, publié en 1558 sous le titre Découverte des îles de Frislanda, Manda, etc. Ce récit, prétendument basé sur des lettres et une carte écrites vers la fin du XIVe siècle par les ancêtres de l'auteur, les frères Nicolo et Antonio Zeno, à leur frère Carlo Zeno, relate les explorations vers le Groenland et les côtes nord-américaines entreprises par les frères Zeno sous le commandement du prince Zichmni. Mais en fait Niccolo Zeno avait élaboré une supercherie à base de documents existants à son époque, fautes y comprises, tel que l'a démontré la bibliothèque nationale de France, qui fait exceptionnel, consacre une page à cette supercherie.

Hij wordt soms erkend onder een andere spellingsnaam, die van Sint Clair. Henry Sinclair was de grootvader van William Sinclair, 1ste graaf van Caithness, de bouwer van de Rosslyn Chapel. Hij is vandaag de dag bekend vanwege moderne legendes, dat hij zou hebben deel genomen aan ontdekkingsreizen naar Groenland en Noord-Amerika, bijna 100 jaar eerder voor Christoffel Columbus. William Thomson schreef over graaf Henry in zijn boek The New History of Orkney; Henry was een zoon van William Sinclair, heer van Roslin en zijn vrouw Isabella (Isobel) van Strathearn. Ze was een dochter van . Henry Sinclairs grootvader (van moeders zijde) had veel van zijn land (of eilanden) verloren, zijn graafschap van Straithearn was hij helemaal verloren aan de Schotse Koningen. Na 13 september 1358 overleed Henry's vader en volgde hij hem op als baron van Roslin, Pentland en Cousland, een groep van kleinere landerijen en bezittingen in Lothian. (nl)
  • Henry Sinclair (1345 circa – 1404 circa) di nazionalità norvegese e scozzese fu conte delle Orcadi nel periodo del dominio norvegese, barone di Roslin e signore delle Shetland, conosciuto anche sotto il nome di principe Zichmni. Egli viene a volte identificato con un'altra ortografia del suo cognome, St. Clair. Era il nonno di Vescovo di Dunkeld, che fece erigere la cappella di Rosslyn.È conosciuto oggi a causa di una leggenda moderna che dice che ha preso parte a spedizioni in Groenlandia e Nord America quasi 100 anni prima di Cristoforo Colombo.Secondo una biografia pubblicata molti anni dopo la sua morte, egli morì in battaglia contro gli inglesi intorno al 1400. William Thomson, nel suo libro The New History of Orkney, scrive: "Ha avuto un singolare destino di godere di una sempre più grande fama postuma che poco ha a che fare con tutto ciò che ha realizzato nel corso della sua vita."
