  Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll and 8th Earl of Argyll and chief of Clan Campbell, (1607 27 May 1661) was the de facto head of government in Scotland during most of the conflict known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms).
Argyll, who inherited the title by the death of his father in 1638, and had originally no preference for Presbyterianism, now definitely took the side of the Covenanters in defence of national religion and liberties.
Argyll was mainly instrumental in this crisis in keeping the national party faithful to what was him evidently the common cause, and in accomplishing the alliance with the Long Parliament in 1643.

 Clan Campbell History
When Colin Campbell of Lochawe was made first Earl of Argyll in 1457 and then Chancellor of Scotland, until the Union of the Kingdoms of Scotland and England in 1707, the Argyll family and their numerous followers had always to be taken into account where Scottish affairs were concerned.
Campbell castles and lands could be found in six parts of Scotland: Argyll, Angus, Ayrshire, Clackmannan, Nairnshire and Perthshire, although principally in Argyll where the home of the Chief, Inveraray Castle, is the most important to any Campbell visitor.
The castle was for centuries the seat of the ancestors of the Campbell Earls of Loudoun.

 Archibald Campbell 9th Earl of Argyll - ScotWars
Unlike his father, the 8th Earl and Marquis of Argyll, the 9th Earl was consistently loyal supporter of the Royalist cause fighting as Colonel of the Scots Foot Guards both at Dunbar in 1650 and a Worcester in 1651.
In favour at the Restoration, his efforts on behalf of his father annoyed the Scots Parliament to the extent that they succeeded in having him imprisoned under sentence of death, which sentence was delayed by Royal command.
In 1685 he returned at the head of an invasion of Scotland designed to restore the Protestant religion; his attempt, like that of the Duke of Monmouth's simultaneous landing in England, failed after an abortive campaign and the Earl was captured and then executed.

 The Character of Charles II
Following the execution of his father in 1649, Charles was invited to Scotland to be crowned king of that nation, the Scottish Covenanters under Archibald Campbell, 8th Earl of Argyll, having fallen out with the English Parliamentarians.
Charles, meanwhile, appointed a new administration headed by Henry Bennet, the Earl of Arlington; this was often referred to as the "Cabal" ministry by contemporaries, a reference both to the initials of the administration's chief ministers, and to the supposedly sinister and secretive nature of their policies.
On the other hand, his sense of political loyalty was not always of the best: his willingness to throw the always-loyal Earl of Clarendon to the political wolves in 1667, and his abandonment of Lord Danby in the later 1670s, are among the less creditable of his political manipulations.
