AFTER HIS murder, Malise’s estates went to his only surviving aunt, Isabella Sinclair—Henry’s mother. To make sure that he would inherit all Malise’s possessions at Isabella’s death, Henry then convinced his brother, David, and his sister, Elizabeth, to renounce the rights to their share in exchange for several estates in Scotland.2 In this way Henry strengthened his family’s position vis-à-vis the troubled Norwegian kingdom while maintaining a relative independence from the Scottish crown. Antonio wrote home admiringly that “Zichmni was worthy of immortal memory as much for his courage as for his statecraft.”
