Description:
Alexander of Islay or Alexander MacDonald (died 1449;) was a medieval Scottish nobleman, who succeeded his father Domhnall of Islay as chief of Clan Donald, Lord of the Isles (1423-49) and rose to the rank of Earl of Ross (1437-49). His lively career, especially before he attained the earldom of Ross, led Hugh MacDonald, the 17th century author of "History of the MacDonalds", to commemorate him as "a man born to much trouble all his lifetime".
