Medieval English nobleman From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dolfin de Lowther (born c.1120) was an English nobleman descended from Danelaw Viking conquerors who in 1150, founded a settlement by the River Lowther that would eventually become the site of the still-standing Lowther Castle, which has since become a tourist attraction.[1][2] The name Lowther is attributed to the Old Norse words of lauðr + á, meaning "foamy river".[3][4]
