   LifeSketch: III. William, third Earl of Ross. In 1283 he was one of the nobles who acknowledged the Maid of Norway as Heir to the Crown. He appeared in the convention of Brigham 12 March 1289-90, when the marriage of Queen Margaret with Prince Edward of England was proposed.

   He sided alternately with the English and Scottish parties; did homage to Edward I, as overlord, at Berwick 1 August 1291. He was one of the auditors elected by Bruce and Baliol at the trial before Edward I in 1292. His seal is attached to one of the writings deposited in the Exchequer concerning the fealty done by John Baliol to Edward.

   In 1292 his lands in Argyll were formed into the Sheriffdom of Skye.

   In 1296 he was one of the leaders of the Scottish army which made an incursion into England, devasting the country, and occupied the castle of Dunbar. On 20 April the Scots were defeated in battle, and on the following day the castle capitulated. The Earl was among the prisoners, and was sent to the Tower, where the Sheriffs were ordered to pay 6d. a day for his maintenance. His eldest son, Hugh, obtained a safe-conduct to visit him 28 August 1297.

   On or about the 29 September 1303 an order for his escort to Scotland and guard, with minute directions for his journey, was issued. He reached Perth 12 December, where he remained with the Prince of Wales until 3 February 1303-4, when he was sent home. In the following December, he was with King Edward at Dunfermline, and received a horse, armour, and other presents from him. In 1305 he was appointed Warden beyond the Spey.

   In 1306, Bruce’s Queen and daughter, Princess Marjory, on the advance of the English army, took refuge in the girth of St. Duthace at Tain, but the Earl, violating the sanctuary, delivered them up to the English. They were sent prisoners to England, and not liberated till 1312.

   Edward II numbered the Earl of Ross among his adherents in Scotland, as on 20 May 1308 he addressed a letter to William, Earl of Ross, and Hugh, son of the said Earl, thanking them for past services, and requesting their aid.

   In 1308, Bruce and the Earl were reconciled at Auldearn; he did homage to Bruce as King, and was infeft in the lands of Dingwall and Ferncrosky. In 1307-8 he reported to Edward II the invasion of Ross by Robert the Bruce, and asked aid in this and other matters troubling him, petitioning by his sons Hugh and John, and excusing his truce with Robert the Bruce.

   In 1312 he witnessed, at Inverness, an agreement between the Kings of Scotland and Norway, and in 1320 he concurred in the Barons’ letter to the Pope asserting the independence of Scotland.

   He died at Delny 28 January 1322-23,

   having married a lady named Euphemis, who warmly supported the English party.

   He left issue:

   1. Hugh, his heir.

   2. Sir John Ross, who married Margaret Comyn, second daughter and coheiress of John, Earl of Buchan …

   3. Sir Walter, who was a scholar at Cambridge 1306, and on 4 June 1307 received a gift of 10 marks from King Edward. …

   4. Isabella, who obtained a dispensation from Pope John XXII … to marry Edward Bruce, Earl of Carrick … the marriage probably never took place.

   5. Dorothea, said to have been married to Torquil M’Leod, second of Lewis.
