Individual Details

== A Brief History of Clan Munro ==(Information taken from several sources as listed below, including but not exclusively Wikipedia)
The clan name '''Munro''', means "Man of the Ro River". This supports the traditional origin of the clan from the River Roe area in Northern Ireland. This is an area near modern-day Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
Tradition states that Chief [[Munro-75|Donald Munro]], son of an Irish chief, [[O’Caan-1|O’Caan]], came to the help of [[King_of_Scots-12|King Malcolm II of Scotland]], expelling the invading Danes. However, this tradition only exists in writing from the late 17th century.[http://www.clanmunro.org.uk/info4.htm Clan Munro Information Sheets] clanmunro.org.uk. Retrieved 09, February 2013
During the War of Scottish Independence the Munro Clan supported [[Bruce-129|King Robert the Bruce]]. They fought in the Battle of Bannockburn [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bannockburn]] and the Battle of Halidon Hill [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Halidon_Hill]].
The first chief of Clan Munro documented by contemporary evidence is [[Munro-462|Robert de Munro]]. He became a supporter of the Earl of Ross and died fighting for him.
During the 15th and 16th centuries there was much turmoil and conflict which involved the Munro Clan. During the Thirty Year War, the 700 Munros along with the ‘’’Black Baron’’’ joined Gustalvus Adolfus of Sweden to defend Protestantism.
Throughout their history, the Munro Clan fought. They fought for brethren, friends, nation, faith, and did not ever stop. After unity in the United Kingdom, they still fight abroad for their countrymen. They still have a Clan Chief to this day, and several international associations listed below. There are also many books and articles on the Clan Munro listed below.
