Talk:Alexander Stewart, Duke of Rothesay

edit

I call for deletion of this page on the grounds that it has no potential to expand into something encyclopedic. I suspect there is next to nothing known about this unfortunate kid except that he died in infancy. In those days even a lot of royal children died in infancy, do they all get an entry? It might be argued that this one was a bit exceptional since he was heir to the throne. However James IV had about 4 children who died in infancy, who were all heir during their lives of a few hours to a few months, James V had 2 sons who died in infancy, 1 of who was heir. Also, it misspells his name, it should be Stewart. PatGallacher 11:58, 2005 Feb 5 (UTC)

According to the Scottish monarchs' family tree it should be Stuart, but the article on James I of Scotland uses Stewart for his uncle. Do you have a source that may be considered authoritative? My Hutchinson's gives Stuart as main and Stewart as alternative: Chambers' Biographical gives the reverse. The main Wikipedia article is titled House of Stuart. Noisy | Talk 20:22, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
