The Life Summary of Duncan
When Sir Duncan Campbell 1st Lord Campbell was born in 1370, in Lochawe, Argyll, Scotland, his father, Sir Colin Campbell 13th. Knight of Lochawe, was 46 and his mother, Lady Mariota Campbell - Lady Argyll, was 42. He married Margaret Marcelline Stewart in 1410. They were the parents of at least 1 son and 1 daughter. He
PLEASE READ THE NOTES BEFORE DELETING HIS 2ND WIFE AGAIN. Had 2 wives named Margaret/Marjory Stewart!
Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochow, also known as Donnchadh mac Cailein, Donnchadh na-Adh, Duncan the Fortunate.
He was the son of Colin Campbell of Lochawe, and Mariota Campbell. Duncan was born in 1370 in Lochow, Argyl, Scotland.
Duncan is usually identified as the oldest son, however, he may have had an older brother named John Annam, John the Weak, that was passed over as heir because of infirmity. Duncan was seemingly the chosen heir by 6 February 1393 when he was granted the lands of Menstrie by his father. Duncan succeeded his father as head of Clan Campbell, some time before 19 January 1414, and was Clan Chief for 40 years.
He was an important figure in Scottish affairs in the first half of the 15th century and Justiciar of Argyll.
Duncan was one of the hostages sent south to England for the redemption of King James I from captivity, 1423 ; On the list he is identified as "Cambel de Ergyle" and his annual income for his hostage status was specified to be 1500 merks, an income larger than that of any of the other hostages, except for William, son and heir of the Lord of Dalkeith, who had the same annual revenue.
During the minority of King James II, Duncan professed support and loyalty to the regency, while constantly expanding his power in Argyll, often at the expense of the Crown.
He was nevertheless knighted before March 1440.
In 1445 King James II of Scotland raised Sir Duncan Campbell to the peerage to become Duncan Campbell of Lochow, Lord of Argyll, 1st Lord Campbell.
Duncan married twice, his first wife was Marjorie Stewart (also identified as Marcellina Stewart), daughter of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. With Marjory he had a son:
- Archibald Campbell, Master of Campbell, also known as Celestin Campbell, and Gillespic or Gillaspy Campbell; married Elizabeth Somerville, daughter of John Somerville, 3rd Lord Somerville; Archibald and Elizabeth were the parents of Colin Campbell; Archibald/Celestin predeceased his father before March of 1440.
Marjorie died before August 1432 (possible as early as 1405 if Colin's birth date of 1406 is accurate), and Duncan married for a 2nd time to Marjorie's cousin, Margaret Stewart of Ardgowan, the daughter of John Stewart of Ardgowan and Blackhall, illegitimate son of King Robert III of Scotland. Margaret Stewart is believed to be the mother of the rest of Duncan's children:
- Sir Colin Campbell of Glenurchy, born c. 1406, ancestor of the Breadalbane family.
- Neil Campbell of Ormidale (fl. 1442), from whom it is said the houses of Ormidale and Ellengreig descend; father of a son named Colin.
- Duncan Campbell of Auchinbreck (fl. 1452), said to have been first of the house of Auchinbreck.
- Archibald Campbell (fl. 1452) ancestor of the old family of Otter, now extinct.
Marjorie Stewart and Margaret Stewart are often confused with each other, and sometimes incorrectly combined into one woman. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THEY ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Duncan Campbell made a grant in March of 1440 to the parish church of Dunnovyng (or Dunoon), on behalf of the souls of his grandparents and parents, also on behalf of his late wife Marcellina Stewart, and of Margaret Stewart his present wife, and the soul of Celestin [Archibald who died in 1440], lately his son and heir.
Duncan Campbell died in 1453, and was buried at Kilmun Church in Kilmun, Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
He was succeeded by his grandson Colin, son of his oldest son Celestin Archibald, who became the 2nd Lord Campbell, and in 1457 was created Earl of Argyll.

SIR DUNCAN CAMPBELL, who served as his majesty’s justice general, one of his privy counsel, and lieutenant with the shire of Argyll during the reigns of James I and James II. By the latter he was made high chancellor of Scotland, and in 1445 he was summoned to parliament by the title lord Campbell. His first wife was the lady Margaret, daughter of Robert, duke of Albany, governor of Scotland. Their children were Celestine (who died young), Archibald, and Sir Colin Campbell. His second wife, also named Margaret, was daughter of Sir John Stewart of Blackhill. Their sons were Duncan, Neil, and Arthur.
Duncan "Na-Adh" had a charter to Menstrie 6 Feb. 1392/3. He succeeded his father about 1414 when with the consent of his son Celestin he confirmed a grant which had been made by his father to his kinsman Ronald Malcolmson of Craignish.

He was a member of the privy council and justiciar and lord lieutenant of Argyllshire.
In March 1440 Sir Duncan le Cambel, knight, Lord of Lochawe granted a charter to the church of Dunnovyng or Dunoon giving one half mark from his lands in Ardenaslate for wax candles to be lit before the image of the Virgin Mary in the church in behalf of the souls of his grandfather celestin Cambel and Isabella Lamont his wife, his father Colin Cambel, his mother Mariota, daughter of M'Cwill Cambel, his late wife Marcellina Stewart, his present wife Margaret Stewart and the soul of Celestin, lately his son and heir. The writ is dated Dunoon castle 12 March 1439/0 and was witnessed by his wife Margaret and his sons Nigel and Colin.
He also founded the Collegiate church of Kilmun in Cowal 4 Aug. 1442 which was confirmed 12 May 1450. Sir Duncan founded the church for prebendaries to pray for the souls of his first born son and his first wife, Marjoy. The church was badly damaged by the Lamonts in 1646 when they massacred all those taking refuge in the tower (which is still standing).
No. 7 on House of Argyle Chart, Call No. B12 C17; married Margaret Stewart, daughter of Sir John Stewart, the illegimate son of Robert III.

Family
Duncan's date of birth is in 1390 in Lochow, Argyll.[1] He was the son of Colin Campbell of Lochawe,[2] and Mariota Campbell. Colin (called Colin Iongantach 'Wonderful', and 'Colin The Good Knight') was the eldest son of Archibald Campbell of Lochawe, while Mariota was the daughter of John Campbell, and thus heiress to the lands of Ardscotnish and Glen Orchy. Colin obtained a dispensation by 13 January 1366 permitting the marriage of Mariota to his son John. He evidently changed his plans and married Mariota himself as in 1372 he obtained a second dispensation, this allowing Colin and Mariota to remarry, after a separation, having already married although within the prohibited degree of kinship.[3]
Duncan may not have been their eldest son: a brother named John Annam, John the Weak, is said to have been passed over. Duncan was seemingly the chosen heir by 6 February 1393 when he was granted the lands of Menstrie by his father. On Colin's death, some time before 19 January 1414, Duncan became head of the Campbells of Loch Awe.[4]
Family ties
Duncan was twice married, his first wife was Marjorie Stewart (sometimes identified as Marcellina Stewart), daughter of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, she died before August 1432, but not before giving Duncan a son:
Archibald Campbell, Master of Campbell, also known as Celestin Campbell, and Gillespic or Gillaspy Campbell (d. 1440); married Elizabeth Somerville, daughter of John Somerville, 3rd Lord Somerville; Archibald and Elizabeth were the parents of Colin Campbell, 2nd Lord Campbell (c. 1433–1493), created Earl of Argyll in 1457, also known as Colin M'Gillespic.
Duncan's second wife was Margaret Stewart of Ardgowan (d. after August 1442), the daughter of John Stewart of Ardgowan and Blackhall, illegitimate son of King Robert III of Scotland. With Margaret Duncan the following sons:
Sir Colin Campbell of Glenurchy, born c. 1406, ancestor of the Breadalbane family.
Neil Campbell of Ormidale (fl. 1442), from whom it is said the houses of Ormidale and Ellengreig descend; father of a son named Colin.
Duncan Campbell of Auchinbreck (fl. 1452), said to have been first of the house of Auchinbreck.
Archibald Campbell (fl. 1452) ancestor of the old family of Otter, now extinct.
Duncan's closeness to the Albany Stewarts led to King James I of Scotland viewing him with some suspicion, and James sent Duncan south as a hostage in England. The documentary record calls him Campbell of Argyll, and gives his share of the liability for the king's ransom as 1500 merks, more than any other hostage save one.[5] In time Duncan and the king were somewhat reconciled and following James's assassination Duncan was among the supporters of Queen Dowager Joan.
"The fortunate"
During the minority of King James II, Duncan professed support and loyalty to the regency, while constantly expanding his power in Argyll, often at the expense of the Crown. He was nevertheless knighted before March 1440 and created a Lord of Parliament as Lord Campbell of Lochawe by James II in 1445.
Death
He died between February 1453 and 21 May 1454, and was buried in the collegiate church at Kilmun, which he and his wife Margaret Stewart had founded in 1442 (see Kilmun Church). Their effigies can still be seen in a niche with a wide cusped arch.[6]
His first successor was Archibald, Master of Campbell; also known as Archibald Roy of Kilbride since he was born in Kilbride, two miles from Inverary. Archibald Roy of Kilbride was the 14th Campbell, the Sixth McCailen More, and 16th Knight of Lochow.[7]
His second son by his wife Margaret, Colin, was the founder of the Campbell of Breadalbane line (Earl of Breadalbane and Holland). His other sons by his second marriage, Archibald, Duncan, and Neil, created the Campbell septs of Otter, Auchinbreck, and Ormidale, respectively.[8]
His grandson Colin, son of Archibald 'Gillespic,' (d. 1440) his only child by his first wife, succeeded him as Chief of the Clan Campbell.[9]

____________________________
Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochow, the eldest son, called Na-Adh, had a charter of the lands of Menstrie on his father's resignation, 6 February 1392-93. He succeeded his father in or before 1414, when with consent of Celestin, his own son and heir, he confirmed a grant by his father to his kinsman Ronald Malcolmson of Craignish. He is called 'Cambel de Ergyle' in the list of hostages for the redemption of King James I from captivity, 1423; and his annual income was therein specified to be 1500 merks, an income larger than was possessed by any of the other hostages, William, son and heir of the Lord of Dalkeith excepted, who had the same annual revenue. King James, according to Crawford, constitued Sir Duncan one of his privy-council, and appointed him his justiciar and lieutenant within the shire of Argyll, but this was probably a continuation of a previous grant. In March 1440, Sir Duncan, styling himself Sir Duncan le Cambel, knight, Lord of Lochawe, granted a charter to the parish church of Dunnovyng or Dunoon, which is here fully noted as of special interest as showing his parentage and marriage relations. He gave in alms a half-merk Scots to be uplifted yearly from his lands of Ardenaslate, for the maintenance of lights and wax candles before the image of the Virgin Mary in the church, and the grant was made on behalf of the souls of his grandfather Celestin Cambel and Isabella Lamont (Laigmani) his lawful wife, the souls of Colin Cambel the granter's father, and of Mariota, daughter of M'Cwill Cambel, the granter's mother ('Mariote filie M'Cwill Cambel matris quondam nostre'), also on behalf of the granter's late wife Marcellina Stewart, and of Margaret Stewart his present wife, and the soul of Celestin, lately his son and heir. This writ was dated at the Castle of Dunoon on 12 March 1439-40 among the witnesses being Margaret Stewart the granter's wife, Colin his heir, and Nigel Cambel, son of the granter.
He founded, 4 August 1442, the Collegiate Church of Kilmun, in Cowal, 'pro salute animarum quondam Jacobi Regis et Johannæ regine, necnon Jacobi moderni Regis Scotorum, et sue proprie quondam Margoriæ conjugis sue et (Margarete) moderne conchoralis sue, et quondam Celestini filii sui primogeniti, etc. in honorem Dei, etc, et S Mundi Abbatis et omnium Sanctorium.' He was advanced to the dignity of Lord Campbell 1445, and on 20 October 1448, in writs relating to an excambion of Menstrie and Glassary, he is styled Sir Duncan lord the Cambell of Lochaw, knight. On 20 November 1450, acting as Dominus le Campbell, King's Lieutenant of Argyll, he, with consent of his heir Colin Campbell McGillespic, granted to his cousin or kinsman John Campbell, son of Alexander and his heirs-male, th eoffice of Toscheachdeorac of Melphort. He had a charter of twenty merks of the King's lands in Cowal, 19 June 1452, for his services to the lat King James I at the siege of Roxburgh Castle. He died in 1453, and was buried at Kilmun.
He married, first, Marjory or Marcellina Stewart, a daughter of Robert, Duke of Albany, Regent of Scotland, and by her had issue.
Sir Duncan married, secondly, Margaret Stewart, daughter of Sir John Stewart of Ardgowna, Blackhall, and Auchingoun, natural son of King Robert III. [The Scots Peerage I:330-331]

Duncan Campbell, 1st Lord Campbell (Classical Gaelic Donnchadh mac Cailein, and also called Donnchadh na-Adh (English: Duncan the fortunate) of Loch Awe, (died 1453), was a Scottish nobleman and politician. He was an important figure in Scottish affairs in the first half of the 15th century and Justiciar of Argyll. He was head of the Clan Campbell for 40 years.
Duncan's date of birth is in 1390 in Lochow, Argyll.[1] He was the son of Colin Campbell of Lochawe,[2] and Mariota Campbell. Colin (called Colin Iongantach 'Wonderful', and 'Colin The Good Knight') was the eldest son of Archibald Campbell of Lochawe, while Mariota was the daughter of John Campbell, and thus heiress to the lands of Ardscotnish and Glen Orchy. Colin obtained a dispensation by 13 January 1366 permitting the marriage of Mariota to his son John. He evidently changed his plans and married Mariota himself as in 1372 he obtained a second dispensation, this allowing Colin and Mariota to remarry, after a separation, having already married although within the prohibited degree of kinship.[3]
Duncan may not have been their eldest son: a brother named John Annam, John the Weak, is said to have been passed over. Duncan was seemingly the chosen heir by 6 February 1393 when he was granted the lands of Menstrie by his father. On Colin's death, some time before 19 January 1414, Duncan became head of the Campbells of Loch Awe.[4]
Family ties
Duncan was twice married, his first wife was Marjorie Stewart (sometimes identified as Marcellina Stewart), daughter of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, she died before August 1432, but not before giving Duncan a son:
Archibald Campbell, Master of Campbell, also known as Celestin Campbell, and Gillespic or Gillaspy Campbell (d. 1440); married Elizabeth Somerville, daughter of John Somerville, 3rd Lord Somerville; Archibald and Elizabeth were the parents of Colin Campbell, 2nd Lord Campbell (c. 1433–1493), created Earl of Argyll in 1457, also known as Colin M'Gillespic.
Duncan's second wife was Margaret Stewart of Ardgowan (d. after August 1442), the daughter of John Stewart of Ardgowan and Blackhall, illegitimate son of King Robert III of Scotland. With Margaret Duncan the following sons:
Sir Colin Campbell of Glenurchy, born c. 1406, ancestor of the Breadalbane family.
Neil Campbell of Ormidale (fl. 1442), from whom it is said the houses of Ormidale and Ellengreig descend; father of a son named Colin.
Duncan Campbell of Auchinbreck (fl. 1452), said to have been first of the house of Auchinbreck.
Archibald Campbell (fl. 1452) ancestor of the old family of Otter, now extinct.
Duncan's closeness to the Albany Stewarts led to King James I of Scotland viewing him with some suspicion, and James sent Duncan south as a hostage in England. The documentary record calls him Campbell of Argyll, and gives his share of the liability for the king's ransom as 1500 merks, more than any other hostage save one.[5] In time Duncan and the king were somewhat reconciled and following James's assassination Duncan was among the supporters of Queen Dowager Joan.
"The fortunate"
During the minority of King James II, Duncan professed support and loyalty to the regency, while constantly expanding his power in Argyll, often at the expense of the Crown. He was nevertheless knighted before March 1440 and created a Lord of Parliament as Lord Campbell of Lochawe by James II in 1445.
Death
He died between February 1453 and 21 May 1454, and was buried in the collegiate church at Kilmun, which he and his wife Margaret Stewart had founded in 1442 (see Kilmun Church). Their effigies can still be seen in a niche with a wide cusped arch.[6]
His first successor was Archibald, Master of Campbell; also known as Archibald Roy of Kilbride since he was born in Kilbride, two miles from Inverary. Archibald Roy of Kilbride was the 14th Campbell, the Sixth McCailen More, and 16th Knight of Lochow.[7]
His second son by his wife Margaret, Colin, was the founder of the Campbell of Breadalbane line (Earl of Breadalbane and Holland). His other sons by his second marriage, Archibald, Duncan, and Neil, created the Campbell septs of Otter, Auchinbreck, and Ormidale, respectively.[8]
His grandson Colin, son of Archibald 'Gillespic,' (d. 1440) his only child by his first wife, succeeded him as Chief of the Clan Campbell.[9]

Sir Colin Iongataich was in great favour with King
Robert the Second, and employed by him to restrain
the Highlanders, who infested the western provinces of
Scotland, which he did so effectually, that he obtained a grant of several lands, still in possession of the
family. He is said to have, before his death, thrown
all his treasure into the sea, to prevent any contest for
it among his children. He died anno 1413; was married to Margaret, daughter to Sir John Drummond of
Stobhouse, by whom he had three sons and a daughter.
1st. Sir Duncan Campbell, his successor, called
Duncan Nanahi, or Noidhie, Fortunate, or Pre-eminent, afterwards Lord Campbell.
2nd. John Campbell, called, Ean Annan, or Weak
John, ancestor of the Campbells of Inverleiver, to whom
some lands in Barbrec and Glendoin, part of the
ancient estate of Craignish, were given as a patrimony,
the whole of that estate being by the failure of lineal heirs male, then in possession of the family of
Argyll, in value of a resignation of it, anno 1361, by
Christian, the only issue of Dugald Oig MacCoul
Craignish.'';:
3rd. Colin Campbell, called Callen Oig Gara Coal,
or Young Colin of the Rough Bounds, or mountainous
parts of the division of Argyllshire, called Cowal, a
great tract of which was given him by way of patrimony.
His eldest son, Sir John Campbell of Ardkinglass, * was called Ean Kioch Becaure. His face was much
pitted with freckles, and hence the family of Ardkinglass still retain the patronymic of MacEan Bioch, of
whom the families of Ardintenny, Dunoon, Carrick,
Skipnish, Blythswood, Shawfield, Kahene, Achawilline,
and Dregachy, are branches.
The daughter, named Christian, married Malcolm
M'Farlan of Arrochar, and had issue. Besides these children Sir Colin Iongataich had three
natural sons.
1st. Dugald, ancestor of the family of Dunstafifnage,
of whom are the Campbells of Ederline and Balvie.
2nd. Donachy Vore, or Great Duncan, of Grlenshira, ancestor of the old family of Campbell of Duntroon.
3rd. Neil Campbell, Dean of Argyll, ancestor of
Campbell of Auchinellan.
XXIX. Sir Duncan was a man of great abilities,
equally marked for his valour and wisdom. By his
interest with Murdoch, Duke of Albany, he prevailed
upon him to ransom and restore King James the First,
who had been many years prisoner in England. This
signal service made such an impression on the mind of
his sovereign that he considered him ever after as one
of the most deserving of his subjects ; received him into
his Privy Council, and constituted him his JusticeGeneral and Lieutenant of the shire of Argyll. These
high offices he was continued in by King James the
Second, to whom he adhered faithfully, and by whom
he was honoured with the title of Lord Campbell, anno
1445.* He was the first of the family that took the
title of Argyll, though he as often used the old title of
Lochow, and was of a very charitable and religious
disposition. He gave the monks of the Abbey of
Sandal, in Kintyre, the lands of Blairnaliber for the
safety of his soul,f and founded the Collegiate Kirk of
Kilmun by charter, 4th August, 1441 .£ He was the fifth M'Cailen More. From him the
Campbells use the boar's head in their arms, he having
killed an immense large one while in France by cutting
off his head at one stroke. § He married, first, Lady
Margaret Stewart, daughter to Eobert, Duke of Albany,
brother to Eobert John, the third King of Scotland, by
whom he had
—
1st. Archibald, his heir. 2nd. Colin, whose patrimony was the lands of
Glenurchy. He was the founder of the noble family
of (Gllenurchy) Breadalbane.*
Sir Duncan married, secondly, Margaret, daughter
to Sir John Stewart of Blackhall, natural son to Eobert
the Third. By her he had
—
3rd. Duncan, ancestor to the Baronet of Auchinbreck,
whose heirs are heritable Colonels of Argyll, and take
the right hand under the chief. 4th. Neil, of whom are the Lairds of Ellengree.
5th. Alexander, of whom the old family of Otter,
the last now of the Campbells of Keithick, in Angus- shire ; the present are of the family of Lochnell.
Duncan, Lord Campbell, died anno, 1453; was
buried in the Church of Kilmun, where there is a monument erected over him with a statue of himself
as large as the life, and, round the verge of the tomb,
this inscription:
—
"Hie Jacet. "Dominus Duncanus, Dorninus le Campbell, Miles de
Lochow, 1453."
XXX. Archibald Koy of Kilbride, so named from
having been born at Kilbride, within two miles of
Inverary, was the 14th Campbell, the 6th M'Cailen
More, and 16th Knight of Lochow, and married Elizabeth, daughter of Lord Somerville, by whom he had
one son, Colin, his heir.
XXXI. Colin, the first Earl of Argyll, succeeded his
father, and was long a minor under the guardianship
of his uncle, Sir Colin Campbell of Glenorchy, whose
fidelity to his trust cannot be too much praised. This
Sir Colin of Glenorchy, was married to the eldest of
Stewart Lord Lome's daughters. The second he procured for his nephew; the third he married to their
cousin, Archibald, who afterwards got the lands of Otter
in exchange for her third of Lome. Sir Colin caused
them to resign these lands into the hands of the King,
that they might again receive them holding of Argyll, as they stand to this day...<br>Page: Identifies Sir Duncan Campbell as the son and heir of Sir Colin Campbell known as Iongataich (died 1413) Brother of: John Campbell, called, Ean Annan, or Weak John; Colin Campbell, called Callen Oig Gara Coal, or Young Colin of the Rough Bounds; and a sister Christian, married Malcolm M'Farlan of Arrochar 3 half-brothers (illegitimate): Dugald, Donachy Vore (Great Duncan) of Grlenshira, and Neil Campbell Dean of Argyll.

Colin (called Colin Iongantach 'Wonderful', and 'Colin The Good Knight') was the eldest son of Archibald Campbell of Lochawe, while Mariota was the daughter of John Campbell, and thus heiress to the lands of Ardscotnish and Glen Orchy. Colin obtained a dispensation by 13 January 1366 permitting the marriage of Mariota to his son John. He evidently changed his plans and married Mariota himself as in 1372 he obtained a second dispensation, this allowing Colin and Mariota to remarry, after a separation, having already married although within the prohibited degree of kinship.[3]
Duncan may not have been their eldest son: a brother named John Annam, John the Weak, is said to have been passed over. Duncan was seemingly the chosen heir by 6 February 1393 when he was granted the lands of Menstrie by his father. On Colin's death, some time before 19 January 1414, Duncan became head of the Campbells of Loch Awe.[4]
Family ties
Duncan was twice married, his first wife was Marjorie Stewart (sometimes identified as Marcellina Stewart), daughter of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, she died before August 1432, but not before giving Duncan a son:
Archibald Campbell, Master of Campbell, also known as Celestin Campbell, and Gillespic or Gillaspy Campbell (d. 1440); married Elizabeth Somerville, daughter of John Somerville, 3rd Lord Somerville; Archibald and Elizabeth were the parents of Colin Campbell, 2nd Lord Campbell (c. 1433–1493), created Earl of Argyll in 1457, also known as Colin M'Gillespic.
Duncan's second wife was Margaret Stewart of Ardgowan (d. after August 1442), the daughter of John Stewart of Ardgowan and Blackhall, illegitimate son of KingRobert III of Scotland. With Margaret Duncan the following sons:
Sir Colin Campbell of Glenurchy, born c. 1406, ancestor of the Breadalbane family.
Neil Campbell of Ormidale (fl. 1442), from whom it is said the houses of Ormidale and Ellengreig descend; father of a son named Colin.
Duncan Campbell of Auchinbreck (fl. 1452), said to have been first of the house of Auchinbreck.
Archibald Campbell (fl. 1452) ancestor of the old family of Otter, now extinct.
Duncan's closeness to the Albany Stewarts led to King James I of Scotland viewing him with some suspicion, and James sent Duncan south as a hostage in England. The documentary record calls him Campbell of Argyll, and gives his share of the liability for the king's ransom as 1500 merks, more than any other hostage save one.[5] In time Duncan and the king were somewhat reconciled and following James's assassination Duncan was among the supporters of Queen Dowager Joan.
"The fortunate"
During the minority of King James II, Duncan professed support and loyalty to the regency, while constantly expanding his power in Argyll, often at the expense of the Crown. He was nevertheless knighted before March 1440 and created a Lord of Parliament as Lord Campbell of Lochawe by James II in 1445.
Death
He died between February 1453 and 21 May 1454, and was buried in the collegiate church at Kilmun, which he and his wife Margaret Stewart had founded in 1442 (see Kilmun Church). Their effigies can still be seen in a niche with a wide cusped arch.[6]
His first successor was Archibald, Master of Campbell; also known as Archibald Roy of Kilbride since he was born in Kilbride, two miles from Inverary. Archibald Roy of Kilbride was the 14th Campbell, the Sixth McCailen More, and 16th Knight of Lochow.[7]
His second son by his wife Margaret, Colin, was the founder of the Campbell of Breadalbane line (Earl of Breadalbane and Holland). His other sons by his second marriage, Archibald, Duncan, and Neil, created the Campbell septs of Otter, Auchinbreck, and Ormidale, respectively.[8]
His grandson Colin, son of Archibald 'Gillespic,' (d. 1440) his only child by his first wife, succeeded him as Chief of the Clan Campbell.[9]

I. SIR DUNCAN CAMPBELL of Lochow, the eldest son, called Na-Adh, had a charter of the lands of Menstrie, on his father's resignation, 6 February 1392-93. 5 He succeeded his father in or before 1414, when with consent of Celestin, his own son and heir, he confirmed a grant by his father to his kinsman Ronald Malcolmson of Craignish. 6 He is called 4 Cambel de Ergyle ' in the list of hostages for the redemp- tion of King James I. from captivity, 1423 ; 7 and his annual income was therein specified to be 1500 merks, an income larger than was possessed by any of the other hostages, William, son and heir of the Lord of Dalkeith excepted, who had the same annual revenue. King James, accord- ing to Crawford, 8 constituted Sir Duncan one of his privy- council, and appointed him his justiciar and lieutenant within the shire of Argyll, but this was probably a con- tinuation of a previous grant. In March 1440, Sir Duncan, styling himself Sir Duncan le Cambel, knight, Lord of Lochawe, granted a charter to the parish church of Dun- novyng or Dunoon, which is here fully noted as of special interest as showing his parentage and marriage relations. He gave in alms a half-merk Scots to be uplifted yearly from his lands of Ardenaslate, for the maintenance of lights and wax candles before the image of the Virgin Mary in the church, and the grant was made on behalf of the souls of his grandfather Oelestin Cambel and Isabella Lament (Laigmani) his lawful wife, the souls of Colin Cambel the granter's father, and of Mariota, daughter of M'Owill
