lots of campbells marrying stewarts/stuarts & hamiltons & campbells.
i found info re Duncan, grgrson of Colin & nephew of Annabella
Drummond,
Queen of Robert III. Duncan's first wife was Marjory or Marietta
Stewart, d/o Robert, Duke of Albany & son of King Robert III -- the way
this information is written can be confusing -- i think it says that
Duncan was regent of Scotland during imprisonment of James I. Duncan's
marriage was 2nd intermarrying of Argyll & Scotland's royal family.
Colin, grson of 1st Earl, was created Earl Argyll by James II, 1457.
by
his wedding to the eldest dau of John, Lord Lorne (all 3 dau's married
Campbells) he put an end to feuds between Lochawe & Lorne & became the
indisputable
chief of Argyll. He acquired the title of Lorne from Walter Stewart &
Inverneath in exchange for estates and other lands. so Stewarts had
been in charge before the Campbells & seemed to remain friendly as
there
more marriages.
this was from a History of the Campbells of Argyll which i found on
genealogylibrary.com
do you have any hamiltons? that's another fascinating family.
cheers
sharon
