  Biography of Alexander Sutherland 1st Laird of Dunbeath
  Alexander was born around 1395 almost certainly at Dunrobin Castle, Golspie, Sutherland, Scotland, the main seat of his father Robert Sutherland, 6th Earl of Sutherland .
  
  Alexander was married first to Mariotta MacDonald, daughter of Donald MacDonald, Lord of the Isles. They only had a daughter Margaret. Evidence in the form of family wills and titles indicate that he and his mistress, later his 2nd wife Katherine Chalmers had a large family including sons Alexander, Edward, Robert, Nicholas and John and daughters Marjory and Marion.
  
  Alexander died shortly after dictating his last will on 15th November 1456. He was staying with his daughter Marjory Sutherland and her husband William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness at their home Roslin Castle, Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland.
  
  In his will which follows in full, he makes provision for all 7 of his living children and also includes references to his nephew Sir Alexander Stratton of Lauriston, son of his sister Christian.
  
  === [ALEXANDER) MASTER OF SUTHERLAND, 1st so ===
  [ALEXANDER) MASTER OF SUTHERLAND, 1st son and heir apparent, born probably in England in or before 1433, while his father was a hostage at Pontefract. He witnesses as Master of Sutherland a charter granted by Alexander, Earl of Ross, at Inverness, 10 October 1444, and with his mother and brother Robert had a safe-conduct to pass between England and Scotland on 8 February 1444/5. He appears to have married, as her 3rd husband, Mariota, daughter of Donald, Lord of the Isles. She was dead by 20 July 1448.He died before 22 February 1455/6, when his father resigned the Earldom in favour of his brother John.] [Complete Peerage XII/1:546, XIV:604]
