George Munro (b. Abt. 1020, d. 1101)

George Munro (son of Donald Munro)^{598, 599, 600, 601} was born Abt. 1020, and died 1101^{602, 603, 604}.

Notes for George Munro:
George assisted Malcolm III in his contentions with Macbeth for the crown of Scotland.
George (or Georgius de Munro) assisted King Malcolm III in his fight against Macbeth, the Usurper 1054-1057. He 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 cannont be verified by any surviving documentation.

Tradition says that he died at an advanced age.
