Official French records do not show this decent. Are there any references?
The official records show Saint Clair, Lords of Saint Lo still in place at
the time of the Edict of Nantes in 1598. "Une foi, un loi, un roi," went by
the boards and the St Clair Lord of St Lo, although Catholic, acceded to
this Edict.
Philippe Sinclair, first Earl of Tarleton was sent by Charlemagne to the
court of Offa (son of Thingfrith, son of Eanulf) King of Mercia. Philippe
Sinclair who died 844 was the first one who we can clearly identify. He was
in the Earl of Tarleton. The Barons of Sinclair(English) were Tudur 1 and
2, Raymond, Trilla, Quinna.
The original Holy Light (Saint Clair) title Holders were men who protected
the Merovingian kings of France. Charlemagne sent to his friend and
correspondent, Offa, king of Mercia. Sinclairs around 780. Interestingly
enough the spelling was then Sinclair. This is the list of people bearing
the title Sinclair in pre conquest Mercia in the Earldom of Tarleton and
English Barony of Sinclair are . Sinclair, Adelphia; Sinclair, Albert;
Sinclair, Bonner; Sinclair, Bonner (1); Sinclair, Dauphine; Sinclair,
Duvessa Alpina; Sinclair, Lauretta; Sinclair, Neva; Sinclair, Paulin;
Sinclair, Paulina; Sinclair, Peter; Sinclair, Philippe; Sinclair, Quinna;
Sinclair, Raymond; Sinclair, Trilla; Sinclair, Tudur; Sinclair, Tudur (1).
The multiple names designated by (1) are repeated names in different
