Notes for John Munro: John answered the call when his brother, the Chief, raised the clan to oppose Edward III's invasion of Scotland to aid Edward Balliol, Edward's puppet King. He fought in the disasterous Battle of Halidon Hill, but fortunately escaped unhurt to lead the remaining Munros back to Ferrindonald. Because his brother, George, Chief of Clan Munro, fell in battle, John returned to become guardian of his nephew, George's heir.
John managed the estates carefully and redeemed portions of the ancestral possessions which had been morgaged by his ancestors.

"John, who became guardian to his nephew...
"At the battle of Halidon Hill...The Chief of the Munros [George Munro] was killed, fighting bravely at the head of his clan, many of whom fell on that fatal field, and the survivors, a sadly attenuated band, were led home by the Chief's brother, John, who fortunately escaped unhurt, and on his return took charge of his young nephew's affairs, and continued to do so during Robert's minority."
