Alexander Stewart (1477 – 19 December 1537) was a
illegitimate and unable to inherit his father's title.[2]
His high birth, however, enabled a successful career in the church. He held
Alexander Douglas I. He was probably not consecrated until 1532. He was allowed to retain control of his monastic commends. He died on 21 December 1537.[1]
