The Earl or Mormaer of Ross was the ruler of the province of Ross in northern Scotland . Origins and transfers. In the early Middle Ages, Ross was part of the vast earldom of Moray. It seems to have been made a separate earldom in the mid 12th century, when Malcolm MacHeth is found designated Earl of Ross.
Fearchar helped King Alexander II of Scotland (1214–1249) crush a rebellion by Donald Bane, a rival claimant to the Scottish throne. Fearchar was knighted by the king and by 1234 he was officially recognized with the title of Earl of Ross. The Earl's son, William was abducted in about 1250 in a revolt against the Earl's rule.
