Archibald Campbell, 1st Duke of Argyll

Archibald Campbell, 1st Duke of Argyll

Archibald Campbell, 1st Duke of Argyll, 10th Earl of Argyll (July 25 1658–September 25 1703) was a Scottish peer.

The eldest son of Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll and Mary Stuart, daughter of James Stuart, 4th Earl of Moray, Campbell sought to recover his father's estates (by moving into King James II's favour). However, after failing to do so, he supported William and Mary's quest for the throne; this important support led to the monarch's returning his father's estate. Also, he was made a Privy Councillor. He was William's chief Scottish advisor, and was made a duke in 1701. He was colonel-in-chief of the Earl of Argyll's Regiment of Foot, that was involved in the 1692 massacre of the MacDonalds of Glen Coe, but took no part in any of its field operations.

On March 12 1678, he married Elizabeth Tollemache (daughter of Lionel Tollemache, 3rd Baronet of Helmingham) at Edinburgh, Scotland. They had three children:

*John Campbell, 2nd Duke of Argyll (10 October 1680–4 October 1743)
*Archibald Campbell, 3rd Duke of Argyll (b. June 1682–15 April 1761)
*Lady Anne Campbell (b. before 1696–20 October 1736), m. James Stuart, 2nd Earl of Bute and Alexander Fraser.
