When Bruce was secure on the Scottish throne the Lamont Chief suffered with the House of Lorne and the Clan's land was claimed by the king's loyal supporter, Campbell, Black Knight of Lochawe. By the end of the 14th century a great deal of the original territory of the clan had been lost; and thus began a feud between the Lamonts and the Campbells which continued on and off for centuries in spite of considerable intermarriage.
