Duncan married the daughter of Robert Duke of Albany, Governor of Scotland by which alliance he had so much interest with Murdock Duke of Albany, Regent of Scotland during the capitivity of James I in England, that he prevailed with him to ransom and restore the King to the throne of his Ancestors, to which the Regent before his friendly interposition, did not seem very much inclinable.
Upon King James' return to his Dominions in confidence of his great Abilities, and in Reward of his great Loyalty, His Majesty made him one of his Privy Councillors, and appointed him his high Justice and Lieutenant in the Shire of Argyle; which Office was afterwards extended all over Scotland, and became hereditary in the family.
He was created a lord of parliament by the Title of Lord Le Campbell, by King James II. anno 1445.
This is the first time they were called to Parliament as Peers; tho for many ages they were styled in all Writs, Dominus & Miles de Lochow.
This Lord in all his other Qualifications, added to that of a religious disposition, which he expressed not only in the common Offices of Life, but publicly by his Donatives to the Church and Monastries, to which he was very liberal; particularly to the Monks of the Abbey of Sandel in Kentyre on whom he bestowed large estates, and founded the Collegiate Church of Killmune, which he likewise richly endowed.
This being the religious foible of the times, this great Man, with many of his Successors, went into it; but later Ages are become wiser, than to fancy there is any Religion in giving away, especially for pampering such nests of spiritual Drones.
