| Notes |
- George married a daughter of Kenneth, Earl of Sutherland.
George was killed at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 as he fought beside Robert Bruce of Scotland against King Edward II of England.
The following is from "The Munro Tree (1734)":
"George Munro of Fowlis married a Daughter of Kenneth Earle of Sutherland by whom he had a son George who succeeded he was killed in Defence of his King and Countire at the Battle of Bannockburn 1314."
"Individual casualties at Bannockburn are unattested, and lists purporting to name the 'clans' who fought there are quite unreliable."
The following is from "History of the Munros of Fowlis":
"...he [Robert Munro] raised his clan and accompanied the Earls of Ross and Sutherland to Bannockburn. In that memorable battle his eldest and apparently only son, George, was slain along with many more of Robert's followers...His only son George, who fell at Banockburn, had married a year before his death a daughter of the Earl of Sutherland, with issue--"
