Gilcrist More is said to have incurred the wrath of Sir Walter Cumyn but later married his daughter and secured the lands of Rowallan Castle near Kilmarnock in Ayrshire.
[3] The heiress of Polkellie, Janet More, in the time of David II married Sir Adam Muir of Rowalian.
[5] A century later, when the Laird of Rowallan gets a confirmation charter from King Robert the Third, he is designated Sir Adam More, Knight; but it is in the same year (1391) that the first transmutation of the name takes place into "Mure," in a charter of pension granted to the King's uncle Andrew Mure, he being a brother of Elizabeth More of Rowallan.
[7] Robert the Bruce and Reginald de la More were Templars when in 1307 King Phillippe le Bel of France arrested and executed many Knights in Paris.
The Knights travelled 2,000 kilometres to Seville and offered their support to Alfonso for his Crusade to rid the Iberian Peninsula of non-Christians.
[citation needed] On 25 August 1330 southeast of Seville in a saddle high above the river the Knights came to Teba in Andalusia.
[citation needed] Sir Kenneth survived to oversee preparations for transport home of the fallen Templar Knights.
[citation needed] Several Scottish- mainly Aberdeenshire-based- individuals of the name have been granted arms, common to all these being three detached Moors' heads dripping blood.
This shared heraldic device indicates, notwithstanding a lack of established pedigree, recognition of the Moir family's crusading tradition.
