From this period therefore the Baronies of Clun and Oswestry (which hitherto had been mere feudal Lordships) may possibly be considered as Peerage digni- ties,^) and as being, together with FitzAlan and Mautravers, annexed to the Earldom of Arundel.

On 26 May 1808 he was gazetted, under the name of Campbell, as ensign in the 9th Foot, and served in the Peninsula; served at Vimiera in 1808, and at Corunna and at Walcheren in 1809; returned to Spain in 1 8 10; fought at Barrosa, Tarifa, and Vittoria, being twice severely wounded (25 July 18 13) while leading a forlorn hope at the siege of San Sebastian, and again at the battle of Bidassoa four months later, after which he returned to England.

C") On these dignities J. Horace Round remarks: "It is difficult to decide the precise status of the title or titles ' Clun and Oswaldestre,' after the passing (in 1627) of this anomalous Act. What the measure really did was to stereotype one of the many erroneous assumptions of titles in the 17th century; but, how far an Act, passed on the erroneous supposition (based, possibly, on a preamble which, in those days, would not require to be proved), that Clun and Oswaldestre were Peerage dignities, could convert them into such dignities is, to say the least, doubtful. No such mode of creation is, surely, known to the Constitution." (■=) "John M'Liver, Wright, and Agnes Campbell, a L. son, Colin, bo, 20th Oct. 1792. Witn. Kenneth M'Callum and Duncan Munro."
