Notes |
- Robert succeeded to Foulis while still a minor, and was placed under the guardianship of the Earls of Ross and Sutherland. He attained his majority in 1282.
During the confusion that reigned after the death of the Maid Of Norway in 1290, Robert joined with the Bruce household in their claim to the throne. Because of his loyalty to Robert the Bruce, Robert Munro suffered much from Bruce's enemies, the Comyns. Munro of Foulis continued steadfast in his support and though advanced in years, in 1314, he raised his clan and accompanied the Earls of Ross and Sutherland to Bannockburn. In that memorable battle, Robert lost his eldest and apparently only son, George, slain along with many of Robert's followers.
Robert escaped unhurt and returned home in safety, though much bereaved by the loss of his son and other relatives. He lived for another nine years and died in 1323, when he was succeeded by his grandson, George.
A charter granted by King Robert I (reigned 1306 - 1329) to Robert de Monro, of Counetis in Strathspeya, the lands of Cupermakcultis or Conneis Cuper McCulty. If correct, this would be the earliest surviving record of the name Munro, but the place-names are too uncertain to do more than speculate on its meaning.
