=== Life Sketch ===
Sir Colin Og Campbell of Lochawe (died 1340 at Locale Argyle), also known as Cailean Óg Caimbeul, Sir Colyn Cambel, Colin the Young, and Coline Oig Campbell, was an early member of Clan Campbell and patrilineal ancestor of the Earls of Argyll. He was lord of Lochawe and Ardscotnish from 1316 until his death sometime before 1343.
«b»Life«/b»
Colin was the oldest son of Sir Neil Campbell and his first wife, likely Alyse Crawford. His stepmother was Mary Bruce, sister of king Robert the Bruce. It has been theorized that Cailean of Carrick was Colin's great-great grandfather, which would also make Robert the Bruce his second cousin once removed. Tradition has it that William Wallace's mother was Margaret Crawford, which if accurate, would make Wallace and Colin first cousins once removed.
In 1316, shortly after his father's death, Colin was granted the entirety of Lochawe and Ardscotnish (lands along the shore of Loch Awe) as a free barony by Robert the Bruce. In exchange for this, Colin agreed to provide troops for Robert's army and a single 40-oared ship when requested. He served in Robert's army during the Irish campaign of 1315-1318. The Brus relates a tale from this campaign in which Colin disobeyed Robert's orders and charged a pair of English archers. While Colin killed the first archer, the second killed Colin's horse. Robert himself intervened, riding to Colin and hitting him with a truncheon as punishment. During the reign of Edward Balliol, Colin sided with David II. Amidst the struggle, Dunoon Castle was captured by a force led by members of the Campbell clan, possibly Colin, and has remained held by the family ever since (though mostly in ruins today).
«b»Marriage and issue«/b»
Colin married a woman named Helena. Ane Accompt of the Genealogie of the Campbells identifies her as the daughter of John More and associates her with the Earldom of Lennox. A History of Clan Campbell identifies her as daughter of John de Menteith, who briefly held the Earldom of Lennox title.
«b»Colin and Helena had the following children:«/b»
1.) Archibald (died before 1394)
2.) Dougal (died before 1342)
3.) John
4.) Alicia, married Alan Lauder of Haltoun
Colin also had an illegitimate son Neil with a woman from the McIldowie family through whom the Campbells of Kenmore and Melfort descend. Through Archibald descend the Earls of Argyll.

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:
a) ARCHIBALD [Gillespic] Campbell (-before 1394). David II King of Scotland granted "all the lands which by just right pertained to Dugall Cambell, brother of Gillespic" to "Gillespick Cambell, son of Sir Colin Cambell knight" by charter dated 4 Jul 1343[218].
- see below.
b) DUGAL Campbell (-after 4 Jul 1343). David II King of Scotland granted "all the lands which by just right pertained to Dugall Cambell, brother of Gillespic" to "Gillespick Cambell, son of Sir Colin Cambell knight" by charter dated 4 Jul 1343[219].
c) ALICE Campbell (-after 13 Jun 1371). Balfour Paul records her parentage and marriage, citing a charter dated 13 Jun 1371 under which Robert II King of Scotland confirmed land “in Norton, in the barony of Ratho, in the country of Edinburgh” to the couple[220]. m ALLAN Lauder of Hatton.

This appears to be the first grant of the barony of Lochow, and it is only after this date that the Campbells are styled Lords of Lochow. The barony before this date appears to have been in the hands of the Crown. He accom- panied the King to Ireland, 1316, and in 1334 recovered from the English the castle of Dunoon, in Cowel, for which David II rewarded him with the heredit- ary keepership of the castle, an office still held by the Dukes of Argyll. For this statement a charter in the possession of the Duke of Argyll is quoted by Douglas. Fordun and Wyntoun agree in saying that it was Dugal, not Sir Colin Campbell who assisted the Steward in that enterprise; but as there were living at that time at least three Dugal Campbells of this family, that name may have been substituted by mistake for Colin. Sir Colin died before May 1343.

In 1334, Colin assisted the Steward of Scotland in the recovery of the Castle of Dunoon from the English. For his help, Sir Colin was appointed heritable Governon of that fortress. He supposedly married Helena, daughter of Sir John Mor, son of the Earl of Lennox.Colin Campbell succeeded his father Neil Campbell in 1316. He went to Ireland and fought with the forces of Edward Bruce, brother of King Robert Bruce, and was in the battle where Edward Bruce was killed fighting against the English. For his service, Colin was rewarded with a grant of lands in the County of Argyll, Scotland. In the minority of King David Bruce, Colin raised 400 men for that prince and took the Castle of Dunoon, which was then in possession of the English.

-----------------------------------------
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]

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]
