}Three-year-old Alexander Elphinstone II was named heir to his father 27 Oct. 1513 in virtue of an Act passed shortly before the battle of Flodden whereby the heirs of those who might fall in the war should be free from the casualties of ward, relief and marriage.(1) William Ellphinstone, canon of Aberdeen was appointed his tutor 28 Nov. 1516 an office which he had resigned before 11 Oct. 1520 in favor of Robert Elphinstone. There was considerable litigation between Robert Calendar of Manor and one of the curators of the young Lord, and Robert Elphinstone the tutor who was unwilling to give up his office thinking that undue influence would be brought to bear upon his pupil. On 18 Dec. 1524 the Lords of Council found that it had been: "clearlie proved that he is past the age of fourteen years and out of tutorie in April last."(2) Alexander's name is found in the sederunts of the Parliaments held in 1528, 1540, 1541, 1545, 1546 and in the sederunt of Lords of Council 26 Jan. 1531.(3) He joined the army summoned by Arran to resist the invasion of the English under the Duke of Somerset and was killed at the battle of Pinkie Cleugh 10 Sept. 1547.
