His eldest was John Campbell, who went on to become his father's successor as Bishop of Argyll; another son, Neil, became Bishop of the Isles.〔 He had at least four other childrean: Colin, Alexander, Donald and a daughter whose name has not survived.〔 He resigned his see to his son sometime between January and June 1608; he died in January 1613〔MacDonald, "Campbell, Neil (d. 1613?)"; Watt, ''Fasti Ecclesiae'', p. 28.〕 or before 21 July 1627.〔〔, ''Fasti Ecclesae Scoticanae, volume 7'', p. 332.〕 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neil Campbell (bishop of Argyll)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
