"In 1528-29 there was an insurrection of certain islesmen under the leadership of James Sinclair and Edward Sinclair, brothers, against William, Lord Sinclair, who in previous years had 'wasted' Orkney and Shetland. Great cruelties were practised on both sides ; and the Earl of Caithness having, in terms of tlie above bond, come to the assistance of his kinsman, was, with many of his followers, slain at Somersdale 18 May 1529. He married Elizabeth, daughter of William Sutherland of Duffus, and by her had two sons (and a daughter, Janet)"
