The Life Summary of Henry
When Sir Henry Sinclair II, Baron Of Roslin, 2nd Earl Of Orkney was born in 1389, in Orkney Islands, Orkney, Scotland, United Kingdom, his father, Henry 1st Earl of Orkney Baron of Rosslyn Sinclair, was 37 and his mother, Jean Haliburton, was 39. He married Countess Egidia Jill Douglas of Orkney on 17 February 1404, in Perthshire, Scotland, United Kingdom. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 6 daughters. He died on 1 February 1422, in Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland, at the age of 33, and was buried in Midlothian, Scotland.
Henry Sinclair, 2nd Earl of Orkney (c. 1375 ? 1420) was a Norwegian nobleman and Planter of Scotland.
He was son of Henry Sinclair, the Earl of Orkney, by his wife Jean, daughter of John Halyburton of Dirleton. Sinclair was one of those captured following the Battle of Homildon Hill in 1402, but released on ransom. He had succeeded his father, de facto, as Earl by 1404; there is no record that he was ever officially installed as Earl, and no certain record that he ever visited his Earldom.
He was one of those who accompanied James Duke of Rothesay on his journey to France aboard the Maryenknyght, which was captured by English pirates off Flamborough Head in 1406. He followed the prince into captivity, but was soon released. Subsequently he was often in England on business connected with the king's imprisonment. He also spent some time in the service of the Duke of Burgundy.
In about 1407 he married Egidia Douglas, daughter of Sir William Douglas of Nithsdale and maternal granddaughter of King Robert II of Scotland.
*William Sinclair, last Jarl of Orkney, and first Earl of Caithness
*Beatrix Sinclair, who married James Douglas, 7th Earl of Douglas.
Henry Sinclair died of influenza c. 1420.
