Alexander was known as "the little laird".
Contrary to what is stated in one old manuscript, he did not go to the Battle of Pinkie. Privy Seal record: "Ane brieve maid to Alexander Skeyne of yat ilk, giving him leave to remain fra ustin al ye days of his life, because he is wake of complexion and inhabill for travel, vexit with infirmities and sikness, provided alwayis that the said Alexander sends ane habill furnished man, with his household and servants, to the said oistis at St. Andrews, penult October, 1546". The "habill furnished man" he sent was his uncle James Skene (c1505-1547), with fatal result.
