Argyll
| Line of Scottish peers who trace their descent to the Campbells of Lochow. The earldom dates from 1457. |
| It was created by James I, who conferred the title on Lord Campbell (died 1493), from whom the greatness of the family dates. The 2nd Earl was killed at Flodden, the 3rd Earl died 1530, whilst the 4th Earl was the first of the great Scottish nobility to become Protestant. |
