: History of the Campbell Clan and genealogy:
: Neil McCailen More Campbell, Lord of Lochowe, was born in 1258 at Lochowe, Argyllshire, Scotland, and died in 1316. His father was Colin Mor Campbell, and he died Sir Neil succeeded him in estate and title. Sir Neil was a stanch ally and companion of Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland. He was rewarded with extensive grants of land forfeited by the enemies Argyll and Bruce. The king also gave his sister Mary in marriage to Sir Neil in 1295, who appears to have disposed of Mariota Cameron, his first wife whom he married about 1279, in favor of the better offer. This was a common practice at the time, when noble marriages were primarily a means of forging alliances. This royal union resulted in a son John, who was given the title of Earl of Atholl by the king. John was killed at the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333. ninth Campbell and tenth Knight of Lochow Source: Title ''The House of Argyll and the collateral branches of the clan Campbell, from the year 420 to the present time''.
