By Margaret Dunbar, Robert had issue...

2. Hector, I. of Contullich, from whom are descended the families of Contullich, Gildermorie, and Fyrish, and of whom in their order.

...the superiority of the lands of Creich was purchased by the Munros in 1541. In 1589 Hector Munro is served heir male and of entail to his father Robert Munro of Fowlis "the elder, in the superiority of the land of Creichmor in Breachat, and the fishings of Kellisoquill (Kyle Oykel) both in salt water and in fresh, lying in the Earldom or Ross and barony of Fowlis.

On the 22nd of July, 1590, Hector was arraigned before a jury at Edinburgh for the crimes of "sorcery, incantation, witchcraft, slaughter, etc.," his trial taking place immediately after that of his stepmother, already referred to. The proceedings are recorded at length in Pitcairn's Criminal Trials, vol. i., part ii., pages 201-204, and the "Dittay," or indictment, extended over the period which had elapsed since 1588. The chief accusation against him was his having, through "inchantments" caused the death of his half-brother George, who "did take ane deadlie sickness in the month of Apryle, 1590 yeirs, and contineward thairin quhile Junij (till June) thaireafter, deceissit in the said month of Junij, being the third day of that instant." In this case the incantation was a doze of slow poison; and his paternal uncle, Hector Munro of Fyrish, appears to have been implicated in the matter. Hector of Fowlis "all uterlie denyit" the charge and was acquitted by the assize, and was "prouniceit and declarit to be acquit and innocent of all the heidis of the said Dittey." He thus escaped any serious consequences from his alleged crimes; but his trial and that of his stepmother are curious incidents in the annals of the family.

The second son of Robert IV of Foulis inherited large estates and was first of families of Kildermorie, Fyrish and Tullochue.

Hector married Unknown. Unknown was born about 1542; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"Hector Munro of Contulich and Kildermory married a daughter of Hector Roy McKenzie of Gairloch by her he had William John George and Hugh and a daughter Janet that married McKay of Auchness."

Although the "Munro Tree" states that the wife of Hector Munro of Fyrish, Contullich and Kiltermorie married a daughter of Hector Roy Mckenzie of Gairloch, ref 1 argues convincingly that this was impossible. There is no trace of such a daughter in the Gairloch genealogies. Hector Roy died at a very advanced age in 1528, whereas a sasine to this supposed daughter, Helen, is dated nearly eighty years later, and is in favor of Helen Munro, on a charter by Hector Munro of Kildermorie, dated 15 Dec 1607.

Notes:

Robert Munro was served heir to his father on 22 May 1542 before John Cuthbert, Sheriff of Inverness. Later in the same year, King James V granted him the relief of the lands and other property belonging to his deceased father.

In the same year, 1542, a feud broke out between Donald Mackay, Chief of the Clan Mackay, and John, fifteenth Earl of Sutherland, during which Mackay committed several depredations. He was ultimately apprehended, and by order of the Earl of Huntly, Lieutenant of the North, was imprisoned in Foulis Castle, where he was kept for a considerable time in captivity. He managed to make his escape through the connivance of one Donald Mackay, a Strathnaver man. It seems highly probably that Baron Robert knew of the escape plan, because the Mackays and Munros had been on friendly terms for generations.

In 1544, Robert entered into a bond of manrent and friendship, according to the custom of the period, with Alexander Ross of Balnagown, father of Robert's eldest son's second wife. The agreement is dated 1 Dec 1544, and bound the two men for their mutual defense.

In 1546, Angus Macdonald of Glengarry, deponed the patronage of the Chaplainory of Obsdale to Robert Munro. On 1 Mar 1546/7, Robert served as a member of the Assize for serving Archibald Campbell heir to his father, Sir John, in the Barony of Strathnairn. On 4 May 1546, he was a member of the jury in the special service of John Gordon, heir to Alexander Gordon, Master of Sutherland his father, in the Earldom of Sutherland.

Robert was a resolute and magnanimous man, and a most loyal subject. When the English invaded Scotland under the Protector, the Duke of Somerset, all the noblemen, freeholders, and Chiefs of Clans were called upon to proceed to Edinburgh with their friends and followers. The Chief of the Munros responded to the call with alacrity. Calling together the fighting men of his clan, he went to Edinburgh, joined the Scottish army, and marched with it to the fatal field of Pinkie, where he fell fighting bravely at the head of his followers.

It is not known what became of his body. It very probably remained on the field of battle and was buried there along with others.

**********
The following is from the Rockwell reference:

Robert Munro was also the 14th Chieftan of the Clan Munro, successor to the legendary Donald, the Irish prince from the River Ro region in Ireland (hence the origin of the name Munro) who came to Scotland in 1025 A.D. at the head of an army to assist King Malcolm II in driving the Danes out of Scotland.

Robert's tenure as Baron of Foulis was a short five years. But during that he was noted (as would be his son and successor, Robert Mor Munro, the 15th Baron) for his loyal support for Mary Stuart during her turbulent reign as Queen of Scotland (1542-1567). Robert and Queen Mary were distant cousins as they were both descendents of King Robert II (1371-1390), the first of the Stewart Kings of Scotland. Queen Mary changed the spelling of the Stewart name to Stuart. She was first married to King Francis II of France and it was in France that she adopted the French spelling of the name.

Robert's descendency came through his grandmother, Anna MacLean, wife of William Munro, 12th Baron of Foulis (1490-1505). Anna could claim two lines of descent: One from King Robert's daughter, Princess Margaret (who married John MacDonald, Lord of the Isles) and second, from his son, Alexander, Earl of Buchan ("the Wolf of Badenoch").

Robert and his second son, George Munro of Katewell, were killed at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh in which the Scots were defeated by an English army led by Thomas Seymour, Duke of Somerset and Regent of England (for the minority of King Edward VI).
**********
The following is from William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine - Vol. XIII #4 - p. 231-241

Sir Robert Munro, 14th Baron of Foulis, and 14th in descent from Hugh, the First Baron, succeeded to the Barony on 22 My 1542. He married Margaret dunbar, and was killed on 8 Sep 1547 at the Battle of Pinkie. General Hugh Mercer of the Revolutionary War was a direct descendant of this 14th Baron of Foulis, - Gen. Mercer's mother having been Anne, daughter of Sir Robert Munro, 24th Baron of Foulis.

Sir Robert, 14th Baron of Foulis, left issue, besides his eldest son Robert who became the 15th Baron, several others among whom was George, progenitor of the Katewell branch, who was killed with his father at the Battle of Pinkie in 1547, leaving issue a son George Munro, II of Katewell, who married his cousin Euphemia Munro. They had issue a son David Munro, who married his distant sousin, Agnes, daughter of the Rev. Alexander Munro and his wife Janet Cumming, a descentant of King Henry VII of England and his wife Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV of England.
