sentence or phrase?

Can the line below be seen as a sentence?
A child of noble birth, his name was famous among the children in that school.

Yes, it is a complete sentence, but it dangles, since a name is not a child. A child of noble birth , he was well known by the children in that school.

sorry but I typed it wrong. This is the sentence I want to ask about:
A child of noble birth, whose name was famous among the children in that school.
if it is a sentence, what is the subject?

No, that is not a sentence; it is a noun phrase with a clause modifier.
