Notes about Colin Campbell

Colin Campbell, 3rd Earl of Argyll+4 d. 9 Oct 1529

Colin Cailen Malloch Campbell
Birth 1486, Argyll and Bute, Scotland
Death 9 Oct 1529 (aged 42-43) Argyll and Bute, Scotland
Burial
Kilmun Parish Church and Cemetery, Kilmun, Argyll and Bute, Scotland

Colin of Carrick, in the Gaelic called Cailen Malloch, ix, Limpie Brow, from a lump that gathered between his brows, when enraged, was valiant and powerful as his forefathers. He had the lieutenancy of Merse, and all the provinces to the south, conferred on him by James the Fifth, in order to quell the Douglases, which he did so effectually, as to bring them entirely into subjection to the Royal authority. This Colin, third Earl of Argyll, was one of the Four Councillors of the Regency to King James the Fifth, anno 1525, and appointed Lord Lieutenant of the Borders, and Warden of the Marches, with an ample confirmation of the hereditary Sheriffship of Argyllshire, Justiciary of Scotland, and Master of the Household, anno 1528, by which these honours became vested in his family. These offices he discharged so much to the satisfaction of his Majesty, that he granted him the Lordship of Abernethy, then in the Crown, by the forfeiture of Angus. He died anno 1542, was married to Lady Janet Gordon, daughter to Alexander, Earl of Huntly, and by her had issue.

In 1506/07 he married Lady Jean Gordon, the eldest daughter of Alexander Gordon, 3rd Earl of Huntly. Campbell led an army against the insurrection of various Highland chieftains; a few years later, he joined the court of King James V of Scotland.
James V was King of Scots from 9 September 1513 until his premature death at the age of thirty, which followed the Scottish defeat at the Battle of Solway Moss. He was given the position Lord Warden of the Marches and in 1528, Lord Justice General of Scotland.Family Members
