    Note: 1. COLIN Campbell ([before 1295/1300?]-before 2 May 1343). Robertson indexes a charter [dated 10 Feb 1315[211]] under which Robert I King of Scotland granted "the lands of Lauchaw, Ardscodniche" to "Colini fil Nigelli Campbell"[212]. This date suggests Colin’s birth some time before 1300, to his father’s first wife. Balfour Paul records that Colin accompanied King Robert I to Ireland in 1316 and in 1334 "recovered from the English the castle of Dunoon, in Cowal, for which David II rewarded him with the hereditary keepership of the castle" (citing “a charter in the possession of the Duke of Argyll is quoted by Douglas”)[213]. Balfour Paul records that Colin died "before May 1343" (no source cited)[214]. m ---. Balfour Paul states that Colin Campbell "is said to have married Helena, daughter of Sir John Mor, son of the Earl of Lennox"[215]. This is presumably based on the Ane accompt which says that Colin married “Helena daughter to Sir John More whom Colvin supposes to have been the son of trhe Earle of Lennox”[216]. The accuracy of this suggestion is unknown, but the Ane accompt is clearly confused as in a later passage it records that [her son] “Gillespig More or Sir Archibald” married “Isobella daughter to Sir John Lamont, called Sir John More”[217]. “Sir John Mor/More” has not been identified in the Lennox family (see the document SCOTLAND, EARLS CREATED 1162-1398). Colin & his wife had three children:

    Note: Clan Campbell (Scottish Gaelic: Na Caimbeulaich [na ˈkʰaimbəl̪ˠɪç]) is a Highland Scottish clan. Historically one of the largest and most powerful of the Highland clans, their lands were in Argyll and the chief of the clan became the Earl and later Duke of Argyll. History Origins In traditional genealogies of the Clan Campbell, its origins are placed amongst the ancient Britons of Strathclyde;[4] the earliest Campbell in written records is Gillespie who is recorded in 1263.[4] Early grants to Gillespie and his relations were almost all in east-central Scotland, but the family's connection with Argyll came some generations before, when a Campbell married the heiress of the O'Duines and she brought with her the Lordship of Loch Awe.[4] Because of this the early clan name was Clan O' Duine and this was later supplanted by the style Clann Diarmaid. This name came from a fancied connection to Diarmid the Boar, a great hero from early Celtic mythology.[4] The original seat of the Clan Campbell was either Innis Chonnell Castle on Loch Awe or Caisteal na Nigheann Ruaidh on Loch Avich. The clan's power soon spread throughout Argyll, though at first the Campbells were under the domination of the Lords of Lorne, chiefs of Clan MacDougall. The MacDougalls killed the Campbell chief Cailean Mór (Colin Campbell) in 1296. (See: Battle of Red Ford). All of the subsequent chiefs of Clan Campbell have taken MacCailean Mór as their Gaelic patronymic.[4] Between 1200 and 1500 the Campbells emerged as one of the most powerful families in Scotland, dominant in Argyll and capable of wielding a wider influence and authority from Edinburgh to the Hebrides and western Highlands.[5] Wars of Scottish Independence The family of Colin Campbell went on to become firm supporters of King Robert the Bruce and benefited from his successes with grants of lands, titles and good marriages.[5] During the Wars of Scottish Independence the Campbells fought for Scotland against the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.[5] During the 14th century the Clan Campbell rapidly expanded its lands and power. This is partly explained by the loyalty of Sir Neil Campbell (Niall mac Caile), (d.1315), to the cause of Robert the Bruce – a loyalty which was rewarded with marriage to Bruce's sister Mary.[5] The family was also closely associated with the Stewarts as well as the Bruces in the time of Cailean Mór.[4] Sir Neil, as a staunch ally of the Bruce was rewarded with extensive lands that had been taken from the forfeited MacDougall, Lords of Lorne and other enemies of the Bruces in Argyll.[4]
