== Biography ==Isabella was the second daughter of [[Strathearn-49|Malaise Strathearn]] and [[Ross-556|Margery Ross]].
Malise earl of Strathearn gained the title of Earl of Caithness and Orkney about 1330. However he was stripped of his ancient family estate of Strathearn by King David II. This may have moved Malise to take action to insure that his northern possessions did not escape his family. Thus on 28 May 1344, at Inverness Malise described as earl of the earldom of Strathearn, Caithness and Orkney with his spouse Marjory placed his daughter Isabella in the ward of her uncle William, Earl of Ross granting him the marriage and constituting her his heir and successor in the earldom of Caithness.
