Personal Info
In May 1547 he received a charter from Thomas Stewart of Kintessok, of the lands of Kintessok, in the county of Elgin. Sir Robert Gordon states that when, in 1550 and 1551, John, Earl of Sutherland, was in France, Alexander governed the earldom in his brother's absence, but with so much severity that the people raised a tumult against him.4
