See also:MUNRO, MUNRO or See also:MONROE, See also:ROBERT (d. c. 168o), Scots See also:general, was a member of a well-known See also:family in See also:Ross-See also:shire, the Munroes of See also:Foulis. With several of his kinsmen he served in the See also:continental See also:wars under Gustavus See also:Adolphus; and he
appears to have returned to See also:Scotland about 1638, and to have taken some See also:part in the See also:early incidents of the Scottish See also:rebellion against See also:Charles I. In 1642 he went to See also:Ireland, nominally as second in command under See also:Alexander See also:Leslie, but in fact in See also:chief command of the Scottish contingent against the See also:Catholic rebels. After taking and plundering See also:Newry in See also:April 1642, and ineffectually attempting to subdue See also:Sir Phelim O'See also:Neill, Munro succeeded in taking prisoner the See also:earl of See also:Antrim at Dunluce. The arrival of See also:Owen See also:Roe O'Neill in Ireland strengthened the cause of the rebels (see O'NEILL), and Munro, who was poorly supplied with provisions and See also:war materials, showed little activity. Moreover, the See also:civil war in See also:England was now creating confusion among parties in Ireland, and the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king was anxious to come to terms with the Catholic rebels, and to enlist them on his own behalf against the See also:parliament. The See also:duke of See also:Ormonde, Charles's See also:lieutenant-general in Ireland, acting on the king's orders, signed a cessation of hostilities with the Catholics on the 15th of See also:September 1643, and exerted himself to despatch aid to Charles in England. Munro in See also:Ulster, holding his See also:commission from the Scottish parliament, did not recognize the See also:armistice, and his troops accepted the See also:solemn See also:league and See also:covenant, in which they were joined by many See also:English soldiers who See also:left Ormonde to join him. In April 1644 the English parliament entrusted Munro with the command of all the forces in Ulster, both English and Scots. He thereupon seized See also:Belfast, made a See also:raid into the See also:Pale, and unsuccessfully attempted to gain See also:possession of See also:Dundalk and See also:Drogheda. His force was weakened by the See also:necessity for sending troops to Scotland to withstand See also:Montrose; while Owen Roe O'Neill was strengthened by receiving supplies from See also:Spain and the See also:pope. On the 5th of See also:June 1646 was fought the See also:battle of Benburb, on the See also:Blackwater, where O'Neill routed Munro, but suffered him to withdraw in safety to See also:Carrickfergus. In 1647 Ormonde was compelled to come to terms with the English parliament, who sent commissioners to See also:Dublin in June of that See also:year. The Scots under Munro refused to surrender Carrickfergus and Belfast when ordered by the parliament to return to Scotland, and Munro was superseded by the See also:appointment of See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

Monk to the chief command in Ireland. In September 1648 Carrickfergus was delivered over to Monk by treachery, and Munro was taken prisoner. He was committed to the See also:Tower of See also:London, where he remained a prisoner for five years. In 1654 he was permitted by See also:Cromwell to reside in Ireland, where he had estates in right of his wife, who was the widow of See also:Viscount See also:Montgomery of Ardes. Munro continued to live quietly near Comber, Co. Down, for many years, and probably died there about 1680. He was in part the See also:original of Dugald Dalgetty in Sir See also:Walter See also:Scott's See also:Legend of Montrose.
