In order that our readers might not be confused because of the repetition 
of the same names
in genealogy, it should, perhaps, be explained that there were three men 
with the name of
Rogenwald who were, at different times, 'jarls' of Orkney, namely:

                 Rogenwald 'the Mighty', the progenitor of the Sinclairs 
(871-890)
                 Rogenwald II, son of Brusi, 19th 'jarl' of Orkney (1035-1046)
                 Rogenwald III, the saint and crusader, the 27th 'jarl' 
(1136-1158)
                 (He was killed near Loch Calder in Caithness)
