Moncur History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsEarly Origins of the Moncur familyThe surname Moncur was first found in Kincardine, where they held a family seat in their territories. The Norman influence on Scottish history considerably influenced the crown and government in the period between King Malcolm Canmore (1058-1093) and King David (1124-1153). Many Norman nobles were either invited or escaped into Scotland following the example of Margeret, wife of Malcolm Canmore, who actively recruited these Normans to their court.
