Alexander de Baliol

Alexander de Baliol (fl. 1246?–1309?), Baron Balliol, Lord of Cavers was an Anglo-Scottish noble. He served at one time as Chamberlain of Scotland. Life Alexander was a member of the Baliol family, about whose pedigree confusion exists. Alexander de Baliol the Scottish chamberlain appears as Dominus de Cavers in the Scottish records in 1270. Seven years later he was commissioned, as lord of Cavers, to serve in Edward's Welsh wars. As Alexandre de Balens, Balliol's arms appear in a roll of Scottish knights who took part in a grand tournament held for Louis IX of France at Compiègne. He later participated in the Eighth Crusade along with Adam of Kilconquhar, then in the Lord Edward's crusade with his uncle Eustace de Balliol.
