Baron Stratheden

However, he was talked out of resigning when it was decided that, in recognition of the value of his services, his wife should be raised to the peerage.

Five years later he was himself created Baron Campbell on his appointment as Lord Chancellor of Ireland.

He later held office as Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain.

Both Lady Stratheden and Lord Campbell were succeeded by their eldest son, the second Baron.

As of 2017[update] the titles are held by the latter's grandson, the seventh Baron, who succeeded in 2011.
