Sir Robert De Ros

  General Notes:

In 1191, aged fourteen, he paid a thousand marks fine for livery of his lands to King Richard I of England. Also that year, he married Isabel of Dunkeld, illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots by Isabel Avenal (Isabella not to be confused with William I's daughter Isabella who married Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk). In 1197, while serving King Richard in Normandy, he was arrested for an unspecified offence, and was committed to the custody of Hugh de Chaumont, but Chaumont entrusted his prisoner to William de Spiney, who allowed him to escape from the castle of Bonville. King Richard thereupon hanged Spiney and collected a fine of twelve hundred marks from Ros' guardian as the price of his continued freedom.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Marriage: to Isabel of Scotland, 1191, Haddington, Lincolnshire.

Robert married Isabel Of Scotland, daughter of William I Of Scotland and Isabel De Avenal, in 1191 in Haddington, Lincolnshire. (Isabel Of Scotland was born in 1165 in Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland.)
