==History== [[File:Campbell of Argyll.jpg|thumb|19th-century depiction of a Campbell of Argyll by [[R. R. McIan|R.R. McIan]]]] ===Origins=== In traditional genealogies of Clan Campbell, the clan's origins are in the ancient [[Britons (Celtic people)|Britons]] of [[Strathclyde]].<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell">{{cite book |last1=Way |first1=George of Plean |last2=Squire |first2=Romilly of Rubislaw |author-link2=Romilly Squire of Rubislaw |author-link1=George Way of Plean |year=1994 |title=Collins Scottish Clan & Family Encyclopedia |location=[[Glasgow]] |publisher=[[HarperCollins]] (for the [[Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs]]) |isbn=0-00-470547-5 |pages=90β92}}</ref> The earliest Campbell in written record is [[Gilleasbaig of Menstrie|Gillespie]], whose name is recorded in 1263.<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell" /> Early grants to Gillespie and his relations were almost all in east-central [[Scotland]]. The family's connection with [[Argyll]] came some generations earlier when a Campbell married the heiress of the O'Duines and she brought with her the Lordship of [[Loch Awe]].<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell"/> Because of this, the early clan name was ''Clan O'Duine''. The name was later styled ''Clann Diarmaid'' based on a fancied connection to ''Diarmuid the Boar'', a great hero from early [[Celtic mythology]].<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell"/> The original seat of Clan Campbell was either [[Innes Chonnel 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 [[Lord of Lorne|Lords of Lorne]], chiefs of [[Clan MacDougall]]. The MacDougalls killed the Campbell chief [[Cailean MΓ³r]] (Colin Campbell) in 1296. (See: [[Battle of Red Ford]].) All subsequent chiefs of Clan Campbell have taken ''MacCailean MΓ³r'' as their [[Scottish Gaelic|Gaelic]] patronymic.<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell"/> 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.<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell">{{cite book |editor-last=Lynch |editor-first=Michael |editor-link=Michael Lynch (historian) |year=2011 |title=Oxford Companion to Scottish History |pages=64β66 |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |isbn=978-0-19-923482-0}}</ref> ===Wars of Scottish Independence=== Early in the 14th century, the family of Colin Campbell became firm supporters of King [[Robert the Bruce]] and benefited from his successes through grants of lands, titles, and good marriages.<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell"/> In 1314, the Campbells fought for Scotland against England in the [[Wars of Scottish Independence]] at the [[Battle of Bannockburn]].<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell" /> Throughout the 14th century, Clan Campbell rapidly expanded its lands and power. The expansion is explained in part by the loyalty of [[Niall mac Cailein|Sir Neil Campbell]] (''Niall mac Caile'') (died 1316) to the cause of Robert the Bruce, a loyalty that was rewarded with marriage to Bruce's sister [[Mary Bruce|Mary]].<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell"/> The family was closely associated with the [[House of Stewart|Stewarts]] and the [[House of Bruce|Bruces]] in the time of Cailean MΓ³r.<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell"/> Sir Neil, as a staunch ally of Robert the Bruce, was rewarded with extensive lands that had been taken from Clan MacDougall, the Lords of Lorne, and other enemies of the Bruces in Argyll.<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell"/> ===15th century and royal relations=== [[File:Innis Chonnell, Loch Awe, Argyll.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Innes Chonnel Castle]] on Loch Awe, possibly the earliest seat of Clan Campbell.]] The Campbells gave support to the Crown throughout the 15th century.<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell"/> By the end of the 15th century, the power of the [[Lord of the Isles|Lords of the Isles]] (chiefs of [[Clan Donald]]), the Crown's most powerful rivals, had been broken, and the Campbells were the main power in the area.<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell"/> From this time onward, the Campbells acted as the central authority in the area; this transition of power might be the real cause of the ancient enmity between the Campbells and the MacDonalds.<ref name="Clan.Encyclopedia.Campbell"/> Descendants of Sir [[Duncan Campbell, 1st Lord Campbell]] (''Donnchadh''), and his wife Lady Marjorie Stewart are descendants of Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland, and Robert II Stewart, King of Scotland. Lady Marjorie Stewart (born circa 1390) was the daughter of King Robert II's son, Robert Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany.<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell"/> This makes all descendants of Sir Duncan Campbell and Lady Marjorie Stewart descendants of Robert I Bruce and of most of the early kings of Scotland.<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell "/> The title of 1st Lord Campbell was created in 1445. In the second half of the 15th century, the Campbells played an increasingly prominent role in Scotland. During his reign, [[James I of Scotland]] launched a great political assault on the Albany Stewarts and their allies in the west. However, Duncan Campbell, 1st Lord Campbell (''Donnchadh''), escaped the fate of his Albany kinsmen, who all were either executed or exiled.<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell "/> [[Colin Campbell, 1st Earl of Argyll]] (''Cailean''), was ennobled as [[Earl of Argyll]] in 1457 and later became Baron of Lorn. He also was granted lands in [[Knapdale]]. The title and land grants were signs that the Argylls were one of the major forces in Scotland.<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell"/> In 1493, after the forfeiture of the MacDonalds as Lords of the Isles, the Campbell lords might well have viewed themselves as natural successors to Clan Donald in terms of leadership of the Gaels of the Hebrides and western Highlands.<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell"/> The Campbell lordship thus remained one of the most significant bastions of Gaelic learning and culture in late medieval and early modern Scotland.<ref name="OxfordScottishCampbell"/> In the [[Battle of Knockmary]] in 1490, men of Clan Campbell and Clan Drummond joined forces to defeat Clan Murray.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/dtog/drummon2.html |title=Clan Drummond |publisher=Electricscotland.com |access-date=2012-04-01}}</ref> The battle also became known as the [[Massacre of Monzievaird]]. In 1499, Campbell of Inverliver defeated [[Clan Calder]] at the [[Battle of Daltullich]]. Sir John Campbell, the younger son of the Earl of Argyll, subsequently received the estate of Calder and [[Cawdor Castle]] through his marriage to the estate's heiress, Muriel Calder.<ref name="ThanesofCawdor">{{cite book |last1=Cawdor |first1=John Frederick Vaughan Campbell |last2=Innes |first2=Cosmo |author-link1=Frederick Campbell, 3rd Earl Cawdor |author-link2=Cosmo Innes |year=1859 |title=The Book of the Thanes of Cawdor: A Series of Papers Selected from the Charter Room at Cawdor |url=https://archive.org/details/bookthanescawdo02innegoog/page/n206 |pages=102β104}}</ref><ref name="Shaw">{{cite book |last=Shaw |first=Lachlan |year=1827 |title=The history of the province of Moray |url=https://archive.org/details/historyprovince00shawgoog/page/n177 |publisher=J.
