9th Baron of Foulis
Hugh Munro, 9th Baron of Foulis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Hugh Munro, 9th Baron of Foulis was a 14th - 15th century Scottish soldier and said to be 12th chief of the Clan Munro in the Scottish Highlands. Hugh was seated at Foulis Castle in Ross-shire, Scotland.[1] Although Hugh is traditionally the 9th Baron and 12th overall chief of the clan, he is only the 2nd Munro chief that can be proved by contemporary evidence.[2]
Contents
Lands and Charters
Hugh Munro was the eldest son of Robert de Munro, 8th Baron of Foulis (d.1369). Upon his father's death Hugh succeeded as chief of the clan and he was granted from his cousin, Uilleam III, Earl of Ross, charters for the lands of Katewell and the Tower of Badgarvie in the parish of Kiltearn. The following year in 1370 Hugh was granted more lands from the same Earl including Inverlael in Loch Broom, Kilmachalmack in Strath-Oykel, Carbisdale in Strathcarron, lands in the parish of Kincardine and was also reserved the salmon fishing in the Kyle of Oykel for himself and his heirs.[3]
In 1379 Euphemia I, Countess of Ross confirmed the lands of Contullich and the Tower of Ardoch (Contullich Castle) to her cousin Hugh Munro of Foulis and in 1394 she granted Hugh two charters, one in respect of the "Tower of Strathschech" and "Wesstir Fowlys".[3][4]
Harlaw and the Lord of the Isles
In 1411 Hugh Munro, 9th Baron of Foulis joined Domhnall of Islay, Lord of the Isles the chief of Clan Donald in contest with Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany and Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar for the Earldom of Ross. This resulted in the Battle of Harlaw. The Munros fought in the Lord of the Isles 'host' against an army of Scottish Lowlanders led by the Duke of Albany who was temporarily prevented from gaining power in Ross-shire.[4][5]
The result of the battle has been a matter of argument amongst many historians. Some have said that Donald and the Highlanders had victory as the Duke of Albany did not return to the Highlands for four years until 1415. Others say that Donald failed to inflict a decisive victory because he withdrew back to the western highlands. The battle seems to have been indecisive for both sides. In 1415 the Earldom of Ross was resigned to the Duke of Albany who in turn awarded it to his son the John Stewart, 2nd Earl of Buchan. However it would pass to the Lord of the Isles within a generation.
Family
Hugh Munro, 9th Baron of Foulis married Isabelle Keith daughter of William Keith, 1st Earl Marischal, also known as the Great Marishchal of Scotland. They had 4 children:[3]
George Munro, 10th Baron of Foulis. Hugh's heir and successor as chief of the Clan Munro.
John Munro, 1st of Milntown. Progenitor of the Munro of Milntown branch of the clan.
Janet Munro. Married Malcolm Og MacKintosh, a cadet of the MacKintoshes of Dunachton, Clan Mackintosh.
Elizabeth Munro. Married Neil MacKay, 8th chief of the Clan MacKay.
Hugh Munro died in 1425 and was buried at Chanonry.[3] In the years following Hugh's death, during the chieftenship of his eldest son George Munro, King James I of Scotland returned from captivity in England and took strong measures to restore order in the Highlands. He came to Inverness in 1427 and seized Mary, Countess of Ross and her son Alexander MacDonald, Lord of the Isles as well as many other prominent highlanders who were punished in various ways. Among these no Munros are named. However there is a “letter of remission", signed under the Great Seal dated 24 August 1428. In the letter twenty eight named individuals are freed for crimes they had committed in the past and the first five names on the list are all Munros.[4]

Earliest Munros and Celtic connections
Posted by: Malcolm Hamilton (ID *****5106) Date: October 13, 2002 at 18:28:14
In Reply to: Possible celtic involvment? by Robert Hanson of 1953
I've been doing some searching (still in the early stages) of the earliest Munro heritage. Some of the sources I have found disagree on details. (see below) Regarding your question about Druids. The Druids were members of a Gaulish and British order of priests, teachers of religion, magicians, or sorcerers. They are not synonymous with Celts, but were obviously working during the time of the early Celtic tribes and may have been Celts.
What follows is the early part of my searches on the Munros.
I have a list of sources, but this message is already too long.
Munro Family: Barons of Fowlis (according to Philip Doddridge, D.D. ands others)
Note: Doddridge and others disagree upon the numbering of the Barons of Foulis (Fowlis). Doddridge starts with Donald, who was not the first baron. Hugh was the first with that title. I have left Doddridge’s numbering in brackets, nonetheless, so I can track which baron he is talking about.
I have put variant spellings in brackets beside the spelling of the author being cited.
The Monroe or Munro family was founded by Ocaan [O’Cathan, O’Caenn], Prince of Fermangh [Fermanagh], chief of the clan of Scots who, in the fourth century [around 357 A.D.], had been driven by the Romans to Ireland. He dwelt by Lough Foyle on the Roe water, about 1000 A.D., from whence the name Munro is derived. [the logic in this statement is not clear] (Payne p. 231.) [Lewis says he was an Irish chief—since they lived in Ireland from 357 to 1025, they probably considered themselves Irish.]
Donald Munro . d. 1053 (Doddridge says 1035, probably a misprint He also credits Donald with being the 1st baron, which he was not.)
The barony was created by Malcolm II in recognition of Donald’s service in helping to rout the Danes out of Scotland. (Doddridge, p. 238.)
His [Ocaan’s] son Donald led the clan back to Scotland, fought for King Malcolm II A.D. 1025, and at a Parliament at Scone he was granted a Barony, which he named Foyle or Foulis after the Lough from whence he came. He died in 1053 and was succeeded by his eldest son George Munro, who died in 1101. George was succeeded by his son Hugh, who became the First Baron of Foulis." (Payne, p. 231.)
[Donald] Founder of the ancient house of Fowlis (Foulis), according to the Cowl manuscript [?] son of O’Cathan [Ocaan, O’Caenn], an “Irish” chief, Prince of Fermanagh. He rendered material aid to King Malcolm II in his contests with the Danes and received therefore certain lands which were subsequently erected into a barony called the Barony of Fowlis—which has been the chief residence of the House for nearly 800 years in uninterrupted descent in the male line. (Lewis, p. 175.)
George Munro (son of Donald) d. 1101.
Hugh Munro (son of George), 1st baron of Foulis. (Payne, p. 231)
Robert Munro, 2nd baron of Foulis. d. 1164
Interred in the Cathedral Church of Chanonry of Ross (the family burial place for more than 400 years.) (Lewis, p. 175.)
Robert was known as the 2nd Baron of Fowlis. His chief claim to distinction seems to have been that he was the first to be laid in the chanonry of Ross, which was the family buriel-pace [sic] for 4 centuries thereafter, until in the times of the Covenanters the violent Presbyterianism of the lairds impelled them to seek a spot untainted by papacy in which to lay their bones. (RootsWeb.com. Audrey Koopikka akdkck3@aol.com.)
Donald Munro, 3rd Baron of Fowlis.
Succeeded his father in 1164. A. D.
He built the old Tower of Fowlis. It is said that he materially aided William the Lion, the first Scotch king really to establish sovereignty over the Highlands, in suppressing the hitherto unchecked lawlessness of those northern regions. (RootsWeb.com. Audrey Koopikka akdkck3@aol.com.)

9th Baron of Foulis
Hugh Munro, 9th Baron of Foulis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Hugh Munro, 9th Baron of Foulis was a 14th - 15th century Scottish soldier and said to be 12th chief of the Clan Munro in the Scottish Highlands. Hugh was seated at Foulis Castle in Ross-shire, Scotland.[1] Although Hugh is traditionally the 9th Baron and 12th overall chief of the clan, he is only the 2nd Munro chief that can be proved by contemporary evidence.[2]
Contents
Lands and Charters
Hugh Munro was the eldest son of Robert de Munro, 8th Baron of Foulis (d.1369). Upon his father's death Hugh succeeded as chief of the clan and he was granted from his cousin, Uilleam III, Earl of Ross, charters for the lands of Katewell and the Tower of Badgarvie in the parish of Kiltearn. The following year in 1370 Hugh was granted more lands from the same Earl including Inverlael in Loch Broom, Kilmachalmack in Strath-Oykel, Carbisdale in Strathcarron, lands in the parish of Kincardine and was also reserved the salmon fishing in the Kyle of Oykel for himself and his heirs.[3]
In 1379 Euphemia I, Countess of Ross confirmed the lands of Contullich and the Tower of Ardoch (Contullich Castle) to her cousin Hugh Munro of Foulis and in 1394 she granted Hugh two charters, one in respect of the "Tower of Strathschech" and "Wesstir Fowlys".[3][4]
Harlaw and the Lord of the Isles
In 1411 Hugh Munro, 9th Baron of Foulis joined Domhnall of Islay, Lord of the Isles the chief of Clan Donald in contest with Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany and Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar for the Earldom of Ross. This resulted in the Battle of Harlaw. The Munros fought in the Lord of the Isles 'host' against an army of Scottish Lowlanders led by the Duke of Albany who was temporarily prevented from gaining power in Ross-shire.[4][5]
The result of the battle has been a matter of argument amongst many historians. Some have said that Donald and the Highlanders had victory as the Duke of Albany did not return to the Highlands for four years until 1415. Others say that Donald failed to inflict a decisive victory because he withdrew back to the western highlands. The battle seems to have been indecisive for both sides. In 1415 the Earldom of Ross was resigned to the Duke of Albany who in turn awarded it to his son the John Stewart, 2nd Earl of Buchan. However it would pass to the Lord of the Isles within a generation.
Family
Hugh Munro, 9th Baron of Foulis married Isabelle Keith daughter of William Keith, 1st Earl Marischal, also known as the Great Marishchal of Scotland. They had 4 children:[3]
George Munro, 10th Baron of Foulis. Hugh's heir and successor as chief of the Clan Munro.
John Munro, 1st of Milntown. Progenitor of the Munro of Milntown branch of the clan.
Janet Munro. Married Malcolm Og MacKintosh, a cadet of the MacKintoshes of Dunachton, Clan Mackintosh.
Elizabeth Munro. Married Neil MacKay, 8th chief of the Clan MacKay.
Hugh Munro died in 1425 and was buried at Chanonry.[3] In the years following Hugh's death, during the chieftenship of his eldest son George Munro, King James I of Scotland returned from captivity in England and took strong measures to restore order in the Highlands. He came to Inverness in 1427 and seized Mary, Countess of Ross and her son Alexander MacDonald, Lord of the Isles as well as many other prominent highlanders who were punished in various ways. Among these no Munros are named. However there is a “letter of remission", signed under the Great Seal dated 24 August 1428. In the letter twenty eight named individuals are freed for crimes they had committed in the past and the first five names on the list are all Munros.[4]

Earliest Munros and Celtic connections
Posted by: Malcolm Hamilton (ID *****5106) Date: October 13, 2002 at 18:28:14
In Reply to: Possible celtic involvment? by Robert Hanson of 1953
I've been doing some searching (still in the early stages) of the earliest Munro heritage. Some of the sources I have found disagree on details. (see below) Regarding your question about Druids. The Druids were members of a Gaulish and British order of priests, teachers of religion, magicians, or sorcerers. They are not synonymous with Celts, but were obviously working during the time of the early Celtic tribes and may have been Celts.
What follows is the early part of my searches on the Munros.
I have a list of sources, but this message is already too long.
Munro Family: Barons of Fowlis (according to Philip Doddridge, D.D. ands others)
Note: Doddridge and others disagree upon the numbering of the Barons of Foulis (Fowlis). Doddridge starts with Donald, who was not the first baron. Hugh was the first with that title. I have left Doddridge’s numbering in brackets, nonetheless, so I can track which baron he is talking about.
I have put variant spellings in brackets beside the spelling of the author being cited.
The Monroe or Munro family was founded by Ocaan [O’Cathan, O’Caenn], Prince of Fermangh [Fermanagh], chief of the clan of Scots who, in the fourth century [around 357 A.D.], had been driven by the Romans to Ireland. He dwelt by Lough Foyle on the Roe water, about 1000 A.D., from whence the name Munro is derived. [the logic in this statement is not clear] (Payne p. 231.) [Lewis says he was an Irish chief—since they lived in Ireland from 357 to 1025, they probably considered themselves Irish.]
Donald Munro . d. 1053 (Doddridge says 1035, probably a misprint He also credits Donald with being the 1st baron, which he was not.)
The barony was created by Malcolm II in recognition of Donald’s service in helping to rout the Danes out of Scotland. (Doddridge, p. 238.)
His [Ocaan’s] son Donald led the clan back to Scotland, fought for King Malcolm II A.D. 1025, and at a Parliament at Scone he was granted a Barony, which he named Foyle or Foulis after the Lough from whence he came. He died in 1053 and was succeeded by his eldest son George Munro, who died in 1101. George was succeeded by his son Hugh, who became the First Baron of Foulis." (Payne, p. 231.)
[Donald] Founder of the ancient house of Fowlis (Foulis), according to the Cowl manuscript [?] son of O’Cathan [Ocaan, O’Caenn], an “Irish” chief, Prince of Fermanagh. He rendered material aid to King Malcolm II in his contests with the Danes and received therefore certain lands which were subsequently erected into a barony called the Barony of Fowlis—which has been the chief residence of the House for nearly 800 years in uninterrupted descent in the male line. (Lewis, p. 175.)
George Munro (son of Donald) d. 1101.
Hugh Munro (son of George), 1st baron of Foulis. (Payne, p. 231)
Robert Munro, 2nd baron of Foulis. d. 1164
Interred in the Cathedral Church of Chanonry of Ross (the family burial place for more than 400 years.) (Lewis, p. 175.)
Robert was known as the 2nd Baron of Fowlis. His chief claim to distinction seems to have been that he was the first to be laid in the chanonry of Ross, which was the family buriel-pace [sic] for 4 centuries thereafter, until in the times of the Covenanters the violent Presbyterianism of the lairds impelled them to seek a spot untainted by papacy in which to lay their bones. (RootsWeb.com. Audrey Koopikka akdkck3@aol.com.)
Donald Munro, 3rd Baron of Fowlis.
Succeeded his father in 1164. A. D.
He built the old Tower of Fowlis. It is said that he materially aided William the Lion, the first Scotch king really to establish sovereignty over the Highlands, in suppressing the hitherto unchecked lawlessness of those northern regions. (RootsWeb.com. Audrey Koopikka akdkck3@aol.com.)

***Notes for Hugh Munro, 9th Baron Foulis:
Hugh Monro, 9th Baron Foulis, married (1) Isabella, daughter of John Keith, son of Sir Edward Keith.
He married (2) Margaret, daughter of Nicholas, son of Kenneth, 4th Earl of sougherland, brother of William the 5th Earl of Sougherland. The first marriage to Isabella produced a son, George. The 2nd marriage, to Margaret produced the children John, Janet, & Elizabeth. Hugh joined the Lord of Isles in contest with the duke of Albany in 1411. Hugh was rewarded with new grants of land through the crown-influence of the rosses, but Hugh appears to have attached himself to the MacDonalds, ehen they claimed the ross Earldom against the royal will, at the commencement of the 15th century.
"Hugh acquired more lands, mainly at the hands of his cousin, the Countess Euphemia of Ross".
Joined the Lord of the Isles in contest with Duke of Albany 1411. Married Isabel, daughter of John Keith of 1st of Inverugie.
