祖寬，隋文帝外孫，為梁泉令。 His grandfather Kuan, a maternal grandson of Emperor Wen of Sui, served as magistrate of Liangquan.

高祖定關中，與郡守蕭瑀率豪姓進款。 When Gaozu secured Guanzhong, Kuan and the prefect Xiao Yu led the local magnates in submitting allegiance.

詔寬用魏太和詔，去「豆」姓，著「盧」。 An edict ordered Kuan, following the Northern Wei Taihe precedent, to drop the character "Dou" from the surname and bear "Lu" instead.

卒，贈特進、并州都督，陪葬昭陵，諡曰定。 He died and was posthumously made special advance and protector-general of Bingzhou, buried with attendant honors at Zhaoling, with the posthumous name Ding.
