Notes

Ist Chief of Clan Laomainn Ladmainn micLamont of Ardlamont: From it's name, the territory of Ardlamont is thought to originally belonged to Sir Laumon, and thus to the chiefs who succeeded him. The Lamonts of Ardlamont, are believed to be the descendants of Ewen, who was slain in 1321, for his support of Robert the Bruce. Possibly, they were rewarded for supporting Bruce, with territory taken from the Lamont Chief who had opposed Bruce. In any case, in 1433, they acknowledged the Lamont Chief as their near cousin, chief of kin, and feudal superior. Prior to this time, they may have been independent of the chief, and had extensive holdings from the Steward, or the Crown. In 1554, their being no male heirs, the land passed to the chief. After the destruction of Toward Castle in 1646, Ardlamont became the seat of the chief.
