Albany, Alexander Stewart, 3rd Duke of

    0.04 sec.

Albany, Alexander Stewart, 3rd Duke of (c. 1454-1485)

Son of James II of Scotland, he usurped the throne of Scotland with English help. He was arrested by his brother, King James III, in 1479 but escaped to England and was recognized as king of Scotland in June 1482 by the English king Edward IV who invaded in support of his claim. In return he acknowledged English suzerainty over Scotland and did so when he again held the throne in 1484. He was forced to flee to France where he died.
