Two possible connections come to mind ?
First , the Templar survival in Portugal where it continued to flourish ,
similar to the situation in Scotland .
Second , the travel to the Holy Land with the heart of Bruce , which may have
involved Portugal prior to the death of the Sinclair ( ? William ) in Spain
in a battle with the Moors .
