Tour Scotland Photograph Archbishop Alexander Stewart Kate Kennedy Procession St Andrews
Tour Scotland photograph of Archbishop Alexander Stewart in the Kate Kennedy Procession in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Alexander Stewart, 1493 to 9th September 1513, was an illegitimate son of King James IV of Scotland and his mistress Marion Boyd. He was the eldest illegitimate child of King James IV of Scotland and his mistress Marion Boyd. He was an elder brother of Catherine Stewart his only full sibling, a half brother to James Stewart, Margaret Stewart and Janet Stewart the other royal illegitimate children of James IV and his mistresses. He was an older half brother of James V. Alexander was reportedly severely myopic, possibly from extensive study in poor conditions. In 1511 he co-founded St Leonard's College in St Andrews, whose chapel still stands, minus its original tower. A gateway with his coat of arms above the arch survives in St Andrews. He was killed along with his father at the Battle of Flodden Field. The St Andrews University Student portraying Archbishop Alexander Stewart today was Joseph White.
