    Angus married Anna Munro. Anna (daughter of Robert Munro, II of Foulis and Agnes MacDonald) was born about 1120; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  Anna Munro was born about 1120 (daughter of Robert Munro, II of Foulis and Agnes MacDonald); and died.

    Notes:

    "The Munro Tree (1734)" says Donald Munro of Foulis had a sister Anna who married Angus McDonald of Yla. This could not be the same Angus MacDonald of Ylla, Lord of the Isles who fought at Bannockburn in 1314, so this fact is questionable. Also, some references say Anna (also called Aine) was the sister of Donald Munro, the founder of the Clan Munro.

  1. 6.  Robert Munro, II of Foulis was born in 1110 in , , Ross and Cromarty, Scotland (son of Hugh Munro, I of Foulis and Lady MacDonald); died in 1164 in Dingwall, , Ross and Cromarty, Scotland; was buried in Fortrose, , Ross And Cromarty, Scotland.

    Notes:

    Robert was a loyal subject of King David I, and King Malcolm IV of Scotland. He assisted King Malcolm in his wars against his "unnatural subjects."

    Family tradition says that Robert married Agnes, daughter of Angus Mor Macdonald IV, Lord of the Isles, but this is impossible as Angus Macdonald lived at least a century later. This is another hint that the dates in the early Munro history are set too far back in time. R.W. Munro believed that Robert was "more or less mythical".

    Robert was buried in the Chanonry of Ross, which continued to be the family burying place for more than four hundred years.
