Donald Munro, III of Foulis

Notes:

Donald is supposed to have built the tower of Foulis as early as 1154, during the life of his father.

In Donald's time, there was a lot of disorder and lawlessness in Ross. William the Lion came into that area with an army in 1179, to restore order. He caused two castles to be built, one at Etherdover called Redcastle, and the other at Nigg called Dunscath or Dunskaith - the castle of dread.

It is said that Donald Munro joined with the King while he was in Ross on this occasion and gave him material assistance in repressing the rebellion and lawlessness.

R. W. Munro believed that Donald was "more or less mythical".

1. David Munro was born about 1172; and died.
2. Allan Munro was born about 1174; and died.
3. Robert Munro, IV of Foulis was born in 1175 in , , , Scotland; died in 1239 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.

Notes:

George (or Georgius de Munro) assisted King Malcolm III in his fight against Macbeth, the Usurper 1054-1057. He was invited to the coronation of King Malcolm III in 1057 and was rewarded at the Parliament at Forfar where he was confirmed in his lands of Ferindonald, to which he had succeeded in 1039.

The existence of this person is improbable because the name, George, is not found anywhere else in Scotland for the next 300 years, and George is supposed to have lived long before that name took root even in England. George's existence cannot be verified by any surviving documentation.

Tradition says that he died at an advanced age.
