 Marquis of Argyll c.1607-61
Argyll dominated the unauthorised Scottish parliament known as the Convention of Estates, and was prominent during negotiations for the Solemn League and Covenant of 1643.
Argyll easily suppressed these stirrings of Royalist activity, but on 30 August 1644, the Marquis of Montrose raised his standard as King's Deputy in Scotland and began his spectacular campaign against the Covenanters.
Argyll was acquitted of any involvement in the death of Charles I, but his correspondence with General Monck and Colonel Lilburne was produced in court, which showed the extent of his collaboration with the Commonwealth, particularly his role in the suppression of the Royalist uprising of 1653-4.

Succeeding his father to the Earldom in 1584, Campbell was used by King James VI (1566 - 1625) to control the highland clans.
However, the young Campbell certainly did not enjoy the wholehearted support of the King, who tolerated the internecine violence between the clans and probably used it for his political advantage.
Campbell continued to pursue the other clans, massacring the Colquhouns at Glen Fruin (1603), the MacGregors (1610) and the MacDonalds (1614-5).
