Notes - Campbell was a supporter of King James II (1430 - 60) against the 'Black Douglases', led by William, the 8th Earl of Douglas (c.1425 - 1452). He was created Earl of Argyll in 1457, a line which became the Dukes of Argyll in 1701. His youngest son, Sir Colin Campbell of Glenorchy, gave rise to the Earls of Breadalbane.
Some sources show his mother as Marjory Stewart, daughter of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, but Weir says that Colin is the son of Duncan's second wife, Margaret Stewart of Ardgowan and Blackhall.
Stirnet shows him as the grandson of Duncan and Marjory noting that the dates are off. I think Stirnet is in error here.
