The life of Robert II Furfan de Ros is fascinating. The man did it all, but nobody has heard of him. He marries the king of Scotland's daughter. He goes on the Third Crusade with King Richard the Lionheart and angers the king of Austria during that Crusade, which causes King Richard to be held for ransom. He raises 25 percent of a king's ransom.
