  • Lord Sinclair is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. According to James Balfour Paul's The Scots Peerage, volume VII published in 1910, the first person to be styled Lord Sinclair was William Sinclair, 3rd Earl of Orkney and 1st Earl of Caithness (died 1480). However, according to Roland Saint-Clair writing in the late 19th century, William Sinclair's father, Henry II Sinclair, Earl of Orkney, who died in 1420, is the first person recorded as Lord Sinclair by public records. In 1470, William Sinclair, 3rd Earl of Orkney, 2nd Lord Sinclair and 11th Baron of Roslin surrendered the earldom of Orkney in return for the earldom of Caithness. He divided his estates: his eldest son from his first marriage, William Sinclair, 3rd Lord Sinclair, inherited the title of Lord Sinclair, while he left the Barony of Roslin to his eldest son from his second marriage, Oliver, and the earldom of Caithness to his second son from his second marriage, another William, from whom descend the chiefs of the Clan Sinclair. William Sinclair, 3rd Lord Sinclair's son, Henry Sinclair, 4th Lord Sinclair (died 1513), was confirmed in the title in 1488 by an Act of Parliament. However, according to historian Roland Saint-Clair, this Act was only a recognition of the Barony of St. Clair existing in the person of his ancestor, Henry II Sinclair, Earl of Orkney and did not constitute a new creation. Bernard Burke, in his a Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the British Empire, agrees with Roland Saint-Clair and says that Henry Sinclair (died 1513) and William Sinclair (died 1570) were "in reality" the fourth and fifth Lords Sinclair respectively. According to 18th century herald, Alexander Nisbet, the Lord Sinclair coat of arms is based on the feudal arms of the Earl of Orkney and being the lineal male heir of William Sinclair, 3rd Earl of Orkney. On the death of the tenth Lord, the male line failed. He was succeeded by his grandson, Henry, the eleventh Lord, the son of Catherine Sinclair, Mistress of Sinclair, daughter of the tenth Lord, and her husband John Sinclair, 23rd Lord Herdmanston. In 1677, he obtained a new charter of the peerage confirming him in the title and with remainders respectively to his brother Henry Sinclair and his father's brothers Robert St Clair, George St Clair and Matthew St Clair, and failing them to his own heirs male whatsoever. However, his eldest son and heir John Sinclair, Master of Sinclair, was involved in the Jacobite rising of 1715 and attainted by Parliament. Consequently, he was not allowed to assume the title. He died childless in 1750 when the claim to the title passed to his younger brother General James St Clair (d. 1762). However, he never assumed the title. On his death the lordship became dormant. It was to remain so until it was successfully claimed by Charles Sinclair, 13th Lord Sinclair, who was confirmed in the title by the House of Lords in 1782. He was the son of Andrew St Clair, de jure 12th Lord Sinclair, grandson of Charles Sinclair, de jure 11th Lord Sinclair (d. 1755) and great-grandson of the aforementioned Matthew St Clair, uncle of the tenth Lord. He thereby became the first holder of the title without descent from the original Lords. The thirteenth Lord, his son the fourteenth Lord, grandson the fifteenth Lord, great-grandson the sixteenth Lord, and great-great-grandson the seventeenth Lord, all sat in the House of Lords as Scottish Representative Peers. As of 2016, the title is held by the latter's only son, the eighteenth Lord, who succeeded on his father's death in 2004. The University College London research project The Legacies of British Slave-ownership and the records of the Slave Compensation Commission, highlights that Charles St Clair, 13th Lord Sinclair owned 666 slaves at the time of abolition in 1833. He gained £5,411 as compensation from the government of the United Kingdom and Great Britain, (approximately £458,000 in 2015). The family house is Knocknalling House, near St John's Town of Dalry, Kirkcudbrightshire. (en)
  • Lord Sinclair è un titolo nobiliare della parìa di Scozia creato nel 1449 da re Giacomo II di Scozia per William Sinclair, III conte di Orkney. Nel 1470, lord Orkney decise di restituire al sovrano la contea in cambio di quella di Caithness. Nel 1477, lord Caithness era intenzionato a diseredare il suo primogenito per il suo primo matrimonio con lady Elizabeth Douglas. Per questo egli passò il titolo al suo secondogenito, nato dal suo secondo matrimonio con Marjory Sutherland, William Sinclair (m. 1513) (che divenne il secondo conte di Caithness). Ad ogni modo, lord Caithness venne succeduto nella signoria di Sinclair dal suo primogenito, anch'egli chiamato William Sinclair, il quale divenne così II lord Sinclair. Il figlio di quest'ultimo, Henry, III lord, venne confermato nei suoi titoli nel 1488. Alla morte di un discendente, il IX lord, la linea maschile si estinse e pertanto quest'ultimo venne succeduto da suo nipote, il X lord, figlio di Catherine Sinclair, figlia del IX lord, e di suo marito John St Clair. Nel 1677 questi ottenne una nuova conferma dei suoi titoli con possibilità di trasmissione anche a suo fratello ed ai suoi zii e loro discendenti in caso di estinzione delle linee. Ad ogni modo, il maggiore dei suoi figli, John Sinclair, venne coinvolto nella rivolta giacobita del 1715 e pertanto gli venne negato l'accesso alla successione al titolo. Questi morì senza eredi nel 1750 ed i suoi titoli passarono a suo fratello minore, il generale (m. 1762). Questi, ad ogni modo, non assunse mai il titolo di famiglia e alla sua morte il titolo rimase dormiente. Esso venne reclamato da Charles Sinclair, XIII lord Sinclair, che venne confermato al titolo dalla camera dei lords nel 1782. Questi era figlio di Andrew St Clair, de jure XII lord Sinclair, nipote di Charles Sinclair, de jure XI lord Sinclair (m. 1755) e pronipote del già menzionato Matthew St Clair, zio del X lord. Questi divenne il primo detentore del titolo senza discendenti dei lords originari. Il XIII lord, suo figlio il XIV, suo nipote il XV lord ed il suo pronipote il XVI nonché il XVII lord, tutti sedettero nel parlamento scozzese. Secondo una ricerca dell'University College di Londra, Charles St Clair, XIII lord Sinclair, possedeva in tutto 666 schiavi all'epoca dell'abolizione della schiavitù nei territori della corona inglese nel 1833. Egli ottenne 5411 sterline come compensazione dal governo inglese. La residenza di famiglia si trova a Knocknalling House, presso , Dumfries. (it)
  • Лорд Синклер — наследственный титул в системе Пэрства Шотландии. Он был создан в 1449 году для Уильяма Синклера, 3-го графа Оркни (1410—1484). В 1470 году граф Оркни отказался от своего титула в пользу шотландской короны, а взамен получил титул графа Кейтнесс. В 1477 году лорд Кейтнесс хотел лишить наследства своего старшего сына от первого брака с леди Элизабет Дуглас, Уильяма Синклера (ум. 1487), который был известен как «Расточитель». Таким образом, чтобы графство не перешло его старшему сыну, Уильям Синклер отказался от титула в пользу своего сына от второго брака с Марджори Сазерленд, Уильяма Синклера (ум. 1513), который стал 2-м графом Кейтнессом. Тем не менее после смерти Уильяма Синклера лордство Синклер унаследовал его старший сын Уильям Синклер, 2-й лорд Синклер. Сын последнего, Генри Синклер, 3-й лорд Синклер (ум. 1513), получил подтверждение своего титула в 1488 году. После смерти его потомка, Джона Синклера, 9-го лорда Синклера (1610—1676), пресеклась мужская линия 2-го лорда Синклера. Ему наследовал его внук, Генри Сент-Клер, 10-й лорд Синклер (1660—1723), сын Кэтрин Синклер, хозяйки Синклер, дочери 9-го лорда Синклера, и её мужа Джон Сент-Клера. В 1677 году он получил новый пэрский устав, подтверждающий его в титуле с правом наследования для его брата Генри Синклера и братьев его отца Роберта Сент-Клера, Джорджа Сент-Клера и Мэтью Сент-Клера, а при отсутствии у них наследников мужского пола, наследникам любого пола. Его старший сын и наследник, Джон Сент-Клер, мастер Синклер (1683—1750), участвовал в Якобитском восстании 1715 года и был лишен парламентом правом наследования отцовского титула. В 1750 году после смерти бездетного Джона Сент-Клера титул лорда Синклера должен был унаследовать его младший брат, генерал Джеймс Сент-Клер (1688—1762). Тем не менее он никогда не принимал титула. После его смерти титул лорда Синклера оставался бездействующим. В 1782 году Палата лордов утвердила в титуле лорда Синклера Чарльза Сент-Клера, 13-го лорда Синклера (1768—1863), сына Эндрю Сент-Клера, де-юре 12-го лорда Синклера (1733—1775), внука Чарльза Синклера, де-юре 11-го лорда Синклера (ум. 1755) и правнука Мэтью Сент-Клера, дяди 10-го лорда Синклера. 13-й лорд Синклер, его сын (14-й лорд Синклер), внук (15-й лорд Синклер), правнук (16-й лорд Синклер) и праправнук (17-й лорд Синклер), заседали в Палате лордов Великобритании в качестве шотландских пэров-представителей. По состоянию на 2010 год носителем титула являлся единственный сын 17-го лорда Синклера, Мэтью Мюррей Кеннеди Сент-Клер, 18-й лорд Синклер (род. 1968), который наследовал своему отцу в 2004 году.
