Hugh [probably Gaelic: Aodh], was the third successor of Ferchar mac in tSagairt as 
Mormaer of Ross (1323–1333). He was the eldest son and heir of William or Uilleam II, 
Earl of Ross by his wife Euphemia de Berkeley, or Barclay.

Hugh was a favourite of King Robert I of Scotland, who endowed him with many lands. 
Aodh even married Robert's sister, Matilda. Aodh's young brother, Iain, was given 
marriage to the Margaret Comyn, heiress of Buchan (although he died childless).

Hugh was married twice: (1) Matilda, sister of Robert I "the Bruce", King of Scots, and 
(2) Margaret de Graham, daughter of Sir David de Graham of Montrose. With Matilda, 
Hugh had several children, including his son and successor William. By Margaret, 
Hugh had at least one daughter Euphemia de Ross, who married (1) John Randolph, 
3rd Earl of Moray and (2) by dispensation (due to affinity) Robert Stewart, Earl of 
Strathearn, subsequently Robert II, King of Scots (1371–1390) as his second wife. 
Euphemia is sometimes incorrectly assigned as a daughter of Matilda, but this would 
have involved consanguinity in the 2nd and 3rd degrees which was not stated in the 
dispensation for her marriage to Robert Stewart.[2] Hugh and Margaret Graham are 
usually also assigned a daughter Janet, wife of Sir John de Monymusk.[3] This has 
been found to be erroneous, as Janet was actually Janet de Barclay, daughter of 
Margaret de Graham by her 2nd husband, John de Barclay of Gartley.[4] All received 
prestigious marriage partners (including to the earls of Buchan and Moray, to Maol 
Íosa IV, Earl of Strathearn and the future king Robert II.

He was killed along many other Scottish nobles at the Battle of Halidon Hill on 19 July 
1333, and was succeeded by his son and successor, Uilleam.
