Alexander Home was the 1st Earl of Home and also the 6th Lord Home. He was also Lord Warden-General of all the March. He was son of Alexander Home, 5th Lord Home, by his second wife. On the death of his father in 1575 he was placed under the guardianship of Andrew Home, Commendator of Jedburgh.
In May 1598 Home burnt the Tolbooth of Lauder and killed a prisoner, William Lauder. This Lauder had killed John Cranston, who had killed his father at Linlithgow. This angered Home because Cranston was killed while in the company of his sister Margaret, the Countess Marischal. The Presbytery of Haddington excommunicated Home for this crime.
In March 1586 Home married Christian, daughter of William Douglas, 6th Earl of Morton, and widow of Laurence, Master of Oliphant. She died without surviving issue by Home.
His second wife was Mary Dudley Sutton, eldest daughter of Edward Sutton, 5th Baron Dudley, the son of the English keeper of Home Castle in 1547 during the Rough Wooing. They married at Bedford House on the Strand on 11 July 1605. Their children included:
James Home, 2nd Earl of Home
Margaret Home, who married James Stuart, 4th Earl of Moray
Anne Home, who married John Maitland, 1st Duke of Lauderdale.
