In the early 1300s, came a great down turn in the Clan'sfortunes. Laumon's grandson, Sir John, supported the MacDougalls of Lorne against Robert the Bruce.

The Lamonts of Ardlamont, however, who held their land as vassals of the High Steward in Bute , may have fought in Bruce's bodyguard at Bannockburn. 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.

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 .

John married JOAN.
