Woman related to Charles I? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caroline

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

'charles i?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.

'woman related' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'Carol' (woman's name).
'related' becomes 'ine' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'carol'+'ine'='CAROLINE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caroline that I've seen before include "Girl's name - relating to Stuart king" , "Lady - Lamb, Lord Byron's lover" , "No eclair for this girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
