Baker writes that he was "one of the claiments of the crown of Scotland
", even though his clain was tenuous. His great grandmother was Isabel, t
he daughter of King William the Lion, but by her mothet, a mistress. The l
ack of a marriage would have placed William De Ros's position much furth
er down the list.
