Dudley Bagenal

Colonel Dudley Bagenal or Bagnall (c.1638 – 27 July 1712) was an Irish soldier, Jacobite politician and courtier.

Bagenal was the eldest son of Colonel Walter Bagenal (great-grandson of Dudley Bagenal) and Elizabeth Roper, daughter of John Roper, 3rd Baron Teynham. Dudley was educated at St John's College, Oxford, matriculating 8 December 1658, and he entered the Middle Temple the same year to train in law. Bagenal was raised as a Protestant, but later reverted to the Roman Catholic faith of his parents. He was also appointed as the Jacobite Lord Lieutenant of Carlow from 1689 to 1690. He was attainted after the Jacobite defeat in 1691, forfeiting his life's interest in his estate. Bagenal emigrated to France shortly afterwards and was appointed a Gentleman Usher to James' exiled court at Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. He subsequently served at the court of James Francis Edward Stuart, but retired to Bruges where he died in 1712.

Bagenal married first Anne, only daughter of Hon. Edward Butler, son of Edmund Butler, 4th Viscount Mountgarret. In 1668 he married her cousin, Anne Mathew. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Lord Walter Bagenal.
