Notes

In 1663, Charles II restored to him the estates and the title of his father as Earl of Argyll.

In 1685 the son of the Marquess, the 9th Earl, invaded Scotland as part of Monmouth's Rebellion. Having set out from Holland with three ships and three hundred men, Argyll landed in Kintyre in May 1685. Collecting a couple of thousand of his clansmen he soon managed to seize the Campbell castle of Ardkinglas on the eastern shore of Loch Fyne. Thence he headed southwards by way of the Gareloch in an attempt to reach the Lowlands. In anticipation of his landing the Privy Council had already despatched a body of MacDonalds, Macleans and Athollmen, led by the Earl of Atholl with the title of Lord Lieutenant of Argyll. Confronted with this force Argyll's Campbells soon dispersed and their chief was taken prisoner. Being already under sentence of death from his previous conviction of 1681, he was carried off to Edinburgh and executed there on 30 June, his head being afterwards placed on the very same spike in the Tolbooth as that of his father twenty-five years earlier.In 1663

A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent. Little doubt there was a progenitor who was first known as “Cam Beul”. Eventually one of the families associated with that name would become the Chiefs of the Clan. A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship or descent.
