Ancestral research is still being done by historians on this clan chief.

He was also known as Ardnell De Huntar.

Ardneil Hunter fought in the Battle of Largs and led the clan age after 6 years fighting for King Alexander III.

Nisbet,in treating of the antiquity of the family of Hunter, makes mention of a charter of King Alexander III. ("Quam in Capella nostra irrevocabile fecimus, anno gratias 1271") in which the estate of Manners, resigned by Nicholas Corbet into the hands of the Crown, is conferred upon William Baddebie (or Bakby), with the exception of such lands as had been granted to Norman Hunter by King Malcolm IV.,("Escepta terra quondam Normani Venatoris quod RexMal-colmus frater Regis Wilmi. avi nostri ei dedit,") and this document is likewise referred to in the "Haddington Collections."
