WILLIAM

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 141 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WILLIAM , the 3rd
earl
  of his line, whose earldom of Orkney was a
Norwegian
  dignity, was made
chancellor
  of
Scotland
  in 1454 and Lord
Sinclair
  and
earl
  of Caithness in 1455. He took some
part
  in public affairs in
Scotland
 , and when in 1470 the Orkney Islands were ceded by Norway to King James III. he resigned all his rights therein to his sovereign and was known merely as earl of Caithness. His eldest son, William, having offended his father by his wasteful habits, the earl settled his earldom on his eldest son by another
marriage
 , also called William, who was killed at Flodden in 1513. The elder William, however, inherited the title of Lord
Sinclair
 , and the family was thus split into two main branches. John, the 3rd earl, was killed in 1529 while attempting to seize the Orkney Islands.
