The Earls of Ross, Athole, Moray, and others, were witnesses to the confirmation by King Robert I. of Scotland, and Haquin, King of Norway, at Inverness, 28th October 1312, of a treaty between Alexander III. of Scotland and Magnus IV. of Norway, 6th July 1266, whereby Magnus renounced for ever the Isles of Sodor and Man, and all the Western Isles, for an annual rent of one hundred merks sterling, and the sum of four thousand merks to be paid by instalments; reserving, however, to himself the Isles of Orkney and Shetland. William, Earl of Ross, is also one of the witnesses to a charter whereby Robert I. granted the lands of Taruays, or Tarves, in Aberdeenshire, to the Abbey of Arbroath, 26th February 1313. He got a charter from Robert I. of the lands of Dingwall, with the castle, burgh, and liberties of the same, and other lands, in 1321; also another charter, dated 5th August 1322, witnessed by Donald, Abbot of New Fearn. He appeared in the convention of Brigham, 12th March 1289, when the marriage of Queen Margaret with Prince Edward of England was proposed. He was one of the nominees on the part of Baliol in his competition for the crown of Scotland with Robert Bruce, 1292. He swore fealty to Edward I. at Berwick, 3d August 1292, and was present when John Baliol did homage to the English king, 20th November 1292. He was directed to attend Edward at London, 1st September 1294, to go over the seas with the king, by letters dated 29th June 1294. He was in the Scottish army at the battle of Dunbar, 28th April 1296, and, after the defeat of the Scots, he took refuge in the castle of Dunbar, which was surrendered a day or two afterwards, and he was carried prisoner to London. He adhered to Edward II., who, 20th May 1308, addressed a letter to him and his son Hugh, thanking them for past services and requiring their aid. Afterwards he joined the party of Robert Bruce, and was one of the guarantees of a treaty between him and Edward II., 1st June 1323. He was one of the nobles who signed the letter addressed to Pope John XXII. in 1320, asserting the independence of Scotland.

William, fourth Earl of Ross, had three children - I. Hugh, who succeeded him. II. John, who married Margaret Cumyn, second daughter of Alexander, fourth Earl of Buchan, and got with her as tocher half of the Earl of Buchan's lands in Scotland; and Robert I., in 1315, confirmed a charter granting to them these lands.
