Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, called the Wolf of Badenoch (1343 – July 1394), was a Scottish royal prince, the third son of King Robert II of Scotland by his first wife Elizabeth Mure. He was Justiciar of Scotia and held large territories in the north of Scotland.
Alexander Stewart died in 1394 (or, according to some sources, 1405) and he was then buried in Dunkeld Cathedral. His tomb, topped by an effigy in armour, is one of the few Scottish royal monuments to have survived from the Middle Ages. The details of the death of the Wolf of Badenoch are unclear.

Scottish History at a Glance: The Wolf of Badenoch. 10 May, 2022 By Allan Kennedy With Comments are off for this post. Our History lecturer, Dr Allan Kennedy, explores the life and legacy of King Robert II’s notorious third son, Alexander Stewart, better known as ‘the Wolf of Badenoch’.
The Tomb of the Wolf of Badenoch (or Tomb of Alexander Stewart) consists of a 15th-century tomb effigy and altar (or "chest") tomb, both of which are carved from marble. It is located in Dunkeld Cathedral , Perthshire , Scotland, and was built for Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan (1343 – c. 1394), who is buried underneath.
Lord of Badenoch. The fourth son of Robert II, he was made a justiciar in northern Scotland (1372), in which post he earned his nickname of ‘Wolf of Badenoch’. He became earl of Buchan in 1382 as a result of his marriage to Euphemia, countess of Ross. He was associated with bands of caterans, and was sacked from his justiciarship in 1388.
Since there had been other quarrels with the bishop of Moray, Alexander, with the help of ‘wyld wykkyd Heland-men’, burned the burgh of Forres (May 1390), then Elgin and its cathedral (17 June) in revenge, becoming known as ‘the Wolf of Badenoch’.
