Lowther Pennington, 2nd Baron Muncaster
General Lowther Pennington, 2nd Baron Muncaster (1745 – 29 July 1818) was a British Army general who saw active service during the American Revolution and the French Revolutionary Wars. Pennington seems to have been frequently at odds with his fellow officers: his arrival in America was signalized by a duel with the Royal Navy captain who brought him over, and in 1793, he was publicly reprimanded by the Duke of York for court-martialing an adjutant over a trifle. After thirty years of service in the Coldstream Guards, he received the colonelcy of the 131st Regiment of Foot in 1795, only for it to be disbanded the next year. He married late in life, in 1802, and promptly had one son. His last command was a Royal Veteran Battalion in 1806, which he resigned in 1813 upon inheriting his brother's barony and estates, dying five years later. Early life Pennington was the third son of Sir Joseph Pennington, 4th Baronet, and his wife Sarah. The Penningtons were an old Cumberland family ...
