Change of rule as in the Legion (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foreign

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in the legion' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'change of rule' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'rule' becomes 'reign' (synonyms).
'of' is an anagram of 'fo'.
'fo'+'reign'='FOREIGN'

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for foreign that I've seen before include "Unfamiliar; from abroad" , "Peculiar" , "Extraneous" , "not appropriate" , "Exotic" .)
