Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, called the Wolf of Badenoch (c. 1343 – 20 July 1405), was a Scottish royal prince, the fourth 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. He is best remembered for his destruction of the royal burgh of Elgin and its cathedral. His sobriquet was given due to his notorious cruelty and rapacity, but there is no proof that it was used during his lifetime.
