LOWTHER, Robert (d.1430), of Lowther, Westmld. and Newton Reigny, Cumb.
Family and Education
s. and h. of Sir John Lowther (d.c.1382) of Lowther and Newton Reigny by his w. Margaret Preston, and bro. of William I. m. bef. Sept. 1398, Margaret (bef. 1365-16 July 1449), da. of William Strickland (d. 30 Aug. 1419), bp. of Carlisle (1400-19) by Isabel, da. of Thomas Warcop of Warcop, Westmld., wid. of Sir John Derwentwater (d.c.1396) of Castlerigg, Cumb., 6s. inc. Hugh and William II, 3da. Kntd. by Jan. 1404.C139/133/2; CP25(1)249/8/27; Cumb. and Westmld. Antiq. and Arch. Soc. n.s. xvi. 129-31, 158-62; CPL, v. 143. Robert has often been mistakenly described as the son of Sir Hugh Lowther (d.c.1382), but he was almost certainly his grandson. Although correct in this respect, the least erroneous of the family pedigrees (Cumb. and Westmld. Antiq. and Arch. Soc. n.s. xlviii. 119-22) is wrong in stating that Geoffrey† and William Lowther I were Robert’s uncles, since they were quite clearly his younger brothers. On the other hand, William Lowther II was not Robert’s brother, as has previously been assumed, but his second son (ibid. xxxix. 113-14).
