Duty owed to a sovereign or state (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allegiance

(Other definitions for allegiance that I've seen before include "Fidelity" , "Loyalty (to a superior)" , "commitment to a cause" , "duty" , "Loyalty to a group or cause" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
