Sir Kenneth Moir was a champion knight and Knights Templar[citation needed] who, in 1330, rode with James Douglas, Lord of Douglas and the Crusaders to Spain with the heart of Robert the Bruce to defeat the Moors who had laid siege to the fortress at Battle of Teba in Andalusia.

He was first Sir Kenneth de la More, a contemporary, perhaps nephew or grandson, of Ranald de la More (Reginald de Mure), the Bruce's Chamberlain of Scotland (1329–1341).[1]

Sir Kenneth and Sir James Douglas rode out on Crusade with Sir Simon Locard of Lee, Sir William Keith of Galston, Sir William de St. Clair and his younger brother John of Rosslyn, Sir Symon Glendonwyn, Sir Alan Cathcart and the brothers Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig and Sir Walter Logan.[2] Locard would as a result of this Crusade became known as Lockhart.[citation needed] There was also a young William Borthwick.
