From Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Munro,_12th_Baron_of_Foulis

Sir William Munro of Foulis (died 1505) was a Scottish Knight and Scottish clan chief of the highland Clan Munro. He is by tradition the 12th Baron of Foulis and 15th overall chief of the clan.[1] However he is actually only the 5th chief of the Clan Munro who can be proved by contemporary evidence.

Sir William Munro was the king’s Lieutenant and Justicary of Inverness and the Earldom Ross.[2]

He was the eldest son of John Munro, 11th Baron of Foulis, a Crown Chamberlain.

'[1][2] William Munro as heir to his father was given sasine of his lands in 1491 as recorded by contemporary documents, the Munro Writs of Foulis.[2] William is said to have been knighted by king James IV of Scotland and appears in a document as "Sir" William in 1503.[2]
