Sir Robert Munro, 3rd Baronet
Sir Robert Munro, 3rd Baronet of Foulis, 21st Baron and 24th chief of the Clan Munro was a 17th-century Scottish soldier and politician.
Robert succeeded to the head of his house upon the death of his cousin, Sir Hector Munro, 2nd Baronet of Foulis who died at just 17 years of age. As the eldest son of Col. John Munro, 2nd of Obsdale, Robert was the head of the Munros of Obsdale family but was also a direct descendant and great grandson of Robert Mor Munro, 15th Baron of Foulis.〔Mackenzie, Alexander. (1898). ''History of the Munros of Fowlis''. pp. 87 - 90.〕
== Thirty Years' War ==

As a young man Robert entered the army in 1626 and became an officer in Donald MacKay's regiment, serving first in Danish service and later in Swedish service where he highly distinguished himself during the Thirty Years' War on the continent, particularly during the Battle of Lutzen in 1632.〔〔This officer is frequently mentioned throughout the famous work (Robert Monro, ''His Expedition with the worthy Scots Regiment (called Mac-Keyes Regiment)'' (2 vols., London, 1637) )〕 According to 19th-century historian Alexander Mackenzie there were three Generals, eight Colonels, five Lieutenant-Colonels, eleven Majors and above thirty Captains, besides a large number of other soldiers all of the name Munro in the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War.〔 However, although there were numerous colonels and lower ranks bearing the name of Monro or Munro during the Thirty Years' War, none actually held the rank of General in any of the continental armies between 1618-1648.〔See for example, Robert Monro, ''His Expedition with the worthy Scots Regiment (called Mac-Keyes Regiment)'' (2 vols., London, 1637), List of the Scottish officers in chiefe, appendix to the first part; Steve Murdoch and Alexia Grosjean, ''Alexander Leslie and the Scottish Generals of the Thirty Years' War, 1618-1648'' (London, 2014), p.177. List of the Scottish Generals of the Thirty Years' War.〕 It was most likely this man recorded as a major in the regiment of Colonel Robert Monro in 1639 (it had reformed in 1637), just prior to the regiment's return to Scotland.〔Krigsarkivet (The Swedish Military Archves), Muster Roll, 1639/16. Robert Monro's regiment〕
