About Stephen Lynch, Fitz Nicholas More

We suspect that "Mhor" was at sometime rendered in Norman French, probably as "Le Gros", which means "large", but could easily be mistranslated into English as "The Gross". Thus we believe the correct translation of James Mhor Stewart should be either "Big" James Stewart as we have suggested here, or equally possible could be "The Great" James Stewart. Mhor is many times elsewhere rendered as "great", most notably with the chiefs of Clan Campbell who go by the title of MacCailean Mor, meaning "sons of Colin the Great" ("mor" is a variant spelling of "mhor").
