==Biography==
Alexander  was the elder son of [[Aristobulus II]], and the brother of [[Antigonus]]. He married his cousin [[Alexandra the Hasmonean|Alexandra]], daughter of his uncle (and now also father-in law), [[John Hyrcanus II]]. The couple had a daughter, [[Mariamne]], who would later become the wife of [[Herod the Great]].


When Pompey subdued the Hasmonean kingdom in 63 BCE, Alexander was deported to Rome with his father and younger brother. He managed to escape on the way and raised an army that caused [[John Hyrcanus II]] and [[Antipater]] no little annoyance in Judaea. It took the intervention of the Roman general and proconsul of Syria [[Gabinius]] to regain control of the region.
