  • Notes 
    • R. W. Munro believed that the first six named heads of the House of Foulis, including Robert, "may be more or less mythical".

      In 1222 Harold, second Earl of Caithness, murdered Adam, third Bishop of Caithness. Harold was "a very wicked and turbulent man who committed vast cruelties." His estates and honors were forfeited because of his crimes.

      Robert and his father-in-law, Hugh Freskyn de Moravia were requested by the King to martial their men and capture the Earl of Caithness, which they did.
