Prepared by Michael Steer
The Lethbridge family of minor aristocrats, claimed to be a family of remote antiquity, deriving their name from Lothbrock or Lothbrooke (leather-breeches), the nickname of a renowned Danish leader during the Viking invasions. They displayed as heraldic supporters to their arms, two ravens, adopted in commemoration of Ragner Lothbrock, the Dane, who bore the raven on his flag when he finally established himself on the coast of Devon. Ragner was in fact, a mythical hero of the Norse Sagas. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
