Sir Nicholas Bagenal or Bagenall or Bagnall (1509 – February 1591) was an English-born soldier and politician who became Marshal of the Army in Ireland.He was born the second son of John Bagenal (died 1558), a tailor who served as Mayor of Newcastle-under-Lyme, by his wife Eleanor, daughter of Thomas Whittingham of Middlewhich, Cheshire and cousin of William Whittingham, Dean of Durham. His elder brother, Sir Ralph Bagenal, was one of Henry VIII's courtiers.In 1538 Nicholas fled to Ireland to escape justice for killing a man in the Staffordshire village of Leek; his two brothers were apparently also involved in this crime. In Ireland he became acquainted with Con O'Neill, 1st Earl of Tyrone and on 7 December 1542 the Irish council, at the suit of Tyrone, begged the King for pardon of Bagenal. Bagenal returned to England in April 1544 and took part in the campaign in France in the following summer. Wikipedia
