Personal Info
He was set aside for physical defect, being deaf and dumb, as appears from a document dated 17 September 1582, wherein King James VI nominates William Duncan, chirurgeon in Dundee, to accompany Alexander to France, to seek such remedy as might be had for the help of his speech and hearing. There are several documents bearing on the King's intervention in the Earl's family affairs, and evidencing the Earl's displeasure thereat. He was of age in July 1584, and was cognosced insane 1596.3
