Alexander Stewart or Stuart, nicknamed the Wolf of Badenoch (1343 - July 24 1394), was a Scottish prince and the first Earl of Buchan of the second creation of the title, from 1382 to his death. He was also Justiciar of the North. Alexander was the son of King Robert II of Scotland by his first wife, Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan. His nickname was earned due to his notorious cruelty and rapacity.
Alexander was known to set the forest of Ruthiemurchus on fire to drive out deer and boars so that they might be hunted more easily. He tried to divorce his childless wife, Euphemia, countess of Ross, and when the Bishop of Moray reprimanded him for this, Alexander began a feud with the Bishop. On 17 June, 1390 he took revenge on the Bishop by burning two monastaries, the cathedral and town of Elgin, along with the Maison Dieu Hospital and the parish church. His brother King Robert III of Scotland was outraged and ordered him to pay reparations for this crime.
He left no legitimate children, but a bastard son was Alexander Stewart, 1st Earl of Mar.
