2nd Earl of Argyll(336)
(114)(201)
was born about 1465. He died in 1513. Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of
Argyll, was designated as Lord High Chancellor of Scotland on Jun 30 1494. That
same year he also became master of the household.
In 1499 he was one of a group who were given a lease on the Lordship of the Isles
and he was given a commssion of lieutenancy over the lordship and was appointed
keeper of the Castle of Tarbert and baillie and governor of the King's lands
in Knapdale. Together with the Earl of Huntly he supressed the rebellion of the
islanders under Donald Dubh, and shared the lordship with Huntly for the rest
of his life. The isles remained calm during his tenancy.
He fought at the Battle of Flodden on Sep 9 1513, in command of the right wing
with the Earl of Lennox. It was the precipitous charge of the highlanders who
made up Argyll's command, goaded by English taunts, that resulted in one of the
greatest military disasters in Scottish history. Thirteen Scottish earls lost
their lives at Flodden, including Argyll. He was married to Elizabeth Stewart.
