An earldom in northwestern Scotland.
Robert Munro 1369 8th Baron of Fowlis

Robert Munro, the eighth Baron of Fowlis, was a mere child when his father fell, but his estates were carefully managed by his uncle John, who during his guardianship, redeemed portions of the ancestral possessions which had been mortgaged by his ancestors.  There was, among the Fowlis papers, a Renunciation, dated the 4th of January, 1338-9, by Christianus Filius Nogelli, in favour of Robert Munro de Foules, of the lands of Achmellon, a part of the lands of Logie, said to have been held by the granter from Robert and his predecessors.  On attaining majority, Robert followed the example of his guardian, and in the traditions of the family, he is described as 'a man of abilities and economical habits of life.'  He is mentioned as 'Robert de Munro' in several of the Balnagowan charters, in 1341, 1362, 1368, and 1372.  He had a charter from William, Earl of Ross, of the lands of Pitlundie and others in which the reddendo was a pair of white gloves or three pennies Scots, if required, alternately, and afterwards the same nobleman, who was his kinsman, conveyed to him 'the lands of Petian and Morvich.'  The first named charter was witnessed, among others, by Roger, Bishop of Ross, and must have been dated prior to 1350.  The other was confirmed by David II, in 1364.

Robert also obtained, from Earl William, a charter of confirmation of Easter Fowlis and other lands, in which it is declared that they had belonged to his predecessors since the time of Donald, the founder of the family.  This charter was also confirmed by David II, King of Scotland, in the last named charter.

From a charter dated 1 Jul 1365, granted by Hugh Ross I of Balnagowan, second son of Hugh, Earl of Ross, and confirmed by William Earl of Ross, the granter's brother, at his castle of Dingwall on 21 Dec 1366, it appears that Robert Munro, who was one of the witnesses, was also one of the Baron Bailies of the Earldom of Ross, a very important office in those feudal times.

He married, first, Jean, daughter of Hugh Ross I, of Balnagowan, on record in 1350 and 1366, by his wife, Margaret Barclay, niece of Queen Euphemia, the second wife of Robert II, King of Scotland, with issue:
1. Hugh, his heir and successor

Robert Munro then married, secondly, Grace, daughter of Sir Adam Forrester of Corstorphine, with issue:

But Robert may have been a grandson, not a son, of Duncan, the son of his daughter and heiress by Thomas Munro.

John, whose name is found in a charter dated 22 Jul 1426, as 'John, the Elder, uncle to
George, tenth Baron of Fowlis,' in which charter, as stated hereafter, he, with his nephew the Laird of Fowlis, and John the Younger, are included by Sir John Forrester in an enntail of the lands of Corstorphine.

The family MS. states that the wife of Robert Munro of Fowlis was a daughter of Forrester of Corstorphine, while Sir Rober Gordon infers, but somewhat obscurely, that Gerse, or Grace, sister of Sir John Forrester of Corstorphine, married 'Munroe of Fowlis' alluding apparently to George, Robert's father, though the reference might possibly apply to Robert.  The lady was, apparently, a daughter of Sir Adam Forrester, an opulent merchant in Edinburgh, who, in 1363, is styled 'Adam Forrester, mercator de Scotia.'  He was Lord Provost of that city, 1373-1378, and in 1387, was taken prisoner at the battle of Homildon Hill on 14 Sep 1402, but was speedily ransomed, and about the same time, obtained the honor of knighthood.  He died at an advanced age on 13 Oct 1405.

John, of whom nothing is known.

Robert was killed in an obscure clan fight while assisting William, Earl of Ross, and in pursuit of a band of fugitives in 1369, when he was succeeded by his eldest son, Hugh Munro.
