  • Notes 
    • Also called Adam Mure. Described by the ODNB as "an Ayrshire landowner."

      According to The Ancestry of Charles II, King of England (citation details below), he "likely" fought at Bannockburn and "probably" died 19 Jul 1333 at the battle of Halidon Hill.

      "He is invariably referred to as Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan, but this style is doubly erroneous since (1) Sir Adam never takes a territorial designation in any known document and (2) Rowallan was acquired after his death by the marriage (after 1341) of his son and heir Adam to 'Isabella,' the heiress (presumably daughter) of Sir Walter Comyn of Rowallan, slain at Annan, 17 Dec. 1332." [The Ancestry of Charles II, King of England (citation details below)]
