  Earl of Lonsdale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The titles of Viscount Lonsdale and Baron Lowther, in the Peerage of England, were conferred upon Sir John Lowther, of Lowther, 2nd Baronet, in 1696.
Sir William duly succeeded to the Barony and Viscountcy of Lowther in 1802, and in 1807 was created Earl of Lonsdale, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
The present Earl is therefore 7th Earl of Lonsdale (UK, 1807), 8th Viscount Lowther (GB, 1797), 8th Baron Lowther (GB, 1797), and 8th Baronet (GB, 1764).
