Robert the nephew of the king of Scotland?

In 'Rutterkin', his uncle (Ian Ogilvy) tells king John that he has two brothers- one being the earl of Huntingdon (Robert/Robin's father) and the other being ''the king of Scotland''?

Surely with him then being a direct relative of an enemy monarch, he as a part-Scotsman, wouldn't be trusted by king John?

And why is this high noble kinsman never mentioned elsewhere?

That does seem kind of odd. Maybe he was making it up and thinking John was a dope.
