Origin and family environment
William de Ros came from the Anglo-Norman family de Ros , which can be traced back to the 12th century in England. He was the eldest son and heir of 2nd Baron William de Ros and his wife Margery de Badlesmere. When his father died in 1343 he was still a minor, after which Ralph de Neville acquired his guardianship and the right to manage his inheritance. Allegedly, de Ros fought during the Hundred Years War in August 1346 in the Battle of Crécy. Before May 8, 1348, de Ros was married to Margaret Neville, a daughter of his guardian. In July 1350 he was declared of legal age and took over the administration of his lands. On August 29, 1350, he fought against a Castilian fleet in the sea battle of Winchelsea, which was victorious for England . Both in November 1350 and in November 1351 he received as Baron de Ros a writ of summons for participation in parliament .
De Ros's marriage to Margaret Neville remained childless. After his death, his younger brother Thomas de Ros became his heir. His widow married Henry de Percy , the future Earl of Northumberland, for a second time .
