Notes - Alexander Stewart inherited the office of High Steward of Scotland from his father. He is said to have accompanied King Louis IX of France on the Seventh Crusade (1248-1254). In 1255 he was one of the councillors of King Alexander III of Scots. He was the principal commander under King Alexander III at the Battle of Largs, on 2 October 1263, when the Scots defeated the Norwegians under Haakon IV. The Scots invaded and conquered the Isle of Man the following year, which was then, together with the whole of the Western Isles, annexed to the Crown of Scotland. (Wikipedia)
The identity of Alexander's wife is disputed.
