| He was one of the Gentlemen of the Bedchamber to King James III. On 23 March 1487 he obtained a charter of the lands of Kenmure, Laggan and Balmaclellan, under reservation of his father's liferent and a terce to his mother. This charter erects the lands into a barony, to be called the barony of Kenmure.8 | ||
| In 1503 he killed Sir John Dunbar of Mochrum, Steward of Kirkcudbright, and had to flee the country. On account of the feud naturally arising between the two families, the Gordons obtained from the Crown, 4 September 1508, an exemption from the jurisdiction of Dunbar's son, who had succeeded him in the office of Steward. Sir Alexander was killed at the battle of Flodden, 9 September 1513, probably fighting 'with Huntly and with Home', both of whom were more fortunate.9 | ||
