Lowe, Sir Hudson, English general, born in Ireland; served with credit in various military enterprises, and was appointed governor of St. Helena in 1815, and held that office during Napoleon's incarceration there; a much abused-man for his treatment of his prisoner, particularly by the French, who dub him “Napoleon's jailer”; died in London in poor circumstances; wrote a defence of his conduct (1770‒1844).
