Clan Munro is a Highland Scottish clan. Historically the clan was based in Easter Ross in the Scottish Highlands. Traditional origins of the clan give its founder as Donald Munro who came from the north of Ireland and settled in Scotland in the eleventh century,though its true founder may have lived much later. It is also a strong tradition that the Munro chiefs supported Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Scottish Independence. The first proven clan chief on record however is Robert de Munro who died in 1369;his father is mentioned but not named in a number of charters. The clan chiefs originally held land principally at Findon on the Black Isle but exchanged it in 1350 for Estirfowlys. Robert's son Hugh who died in 1425 was the first of the family to be styled "of Foulis",despite which clan genealogies describe him as 9th baron.

Raghnall Mac Ruaidhrí was an eminent Scottish magnate and chief of Clann Ruaidhrí. Raghnall's father,RuaidhríMac Ruaidhrí,appears to have been slain in 1318,at a time when Raghnall may have been under age. Ruaidhríhimself appears to have faced resistance over the Clann Ruaidhrílordship from his sister,Cairistíona,wife of Donnchadh,a member of the comital family of Mar. Following Ruaidhrí's demise,there is evidence indicating that Cairistíona and her powerful confederates also posed a threat to the young Raghnall. Nevertheless,Raghnall eventually succeeded to his father,and first appears on record in 1337.
