Richard Bagwell (1840–1918) was an eminent Irish historian and political commentator. Known for his meticulous archival research, he utilized vast collections of state papers to construct his narratives. Though he held strong Irish Unionist convictions, his historical volumes are highly regarded by scholars for their narrative detail and attempt at objective analysis.
