2. | George Munro, of Foulis (1.Unknown1) was born about 1025 in , , Ross and Cromarty, Scotland; died in 1101 in , , Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. 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.

4. | Robert Munro, II of Foulis (3.Hugh3, 2.George2, 1.Unknown1) was born in 1110 in , , Ross and Cromarty, Scotland; 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.
