Kenneth Moir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Kenneth Moir was a champion knight who, in 1330, rode with Sir James Douglas and the Crusaders to Spain with the heart of Robert Bruce to defeat the Moors who had laid siege to the fortress at Teba in Andalusia. During the conflict, Sir Kenneth was said to have beheaded three Moors with one blow of his sword, upon which, according to family tradition, one of the Scots cried "A good Christian Moir can slay three heathen Moors!"
