From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Bagot, 3rd Baron Bagot (27 March 1811-19 January 1887), known as the Hon. William Bagot until 1856, was a British courtier and Conservative politician.
Bagot was the son of William Bagot, 2nd Baron Bagot, and his wife Lady Louisa (née Legge), and was educated at Charterhouse, Eton and Magdalen College, Cambridge. He was returned to Parliament for Denbighshire in 1835, a seat he held until 1852. In 1856 he succeeded his father in the barony and entered the House of Lords. He served in the Conservative administrations of the Earl of Derby and Benjamin Disraeli as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1866 to 1868 and 1874 to 1880. Apart from his political career he was Gentleman of the Bedchamber to the Prince Consort between 1858 and 1859 and a Colonel in the Staffordshire Yeomanry.
Lord Bagot married the Hon. Lucia Caroline Elizabeth, daughter of George Agar-Ellis, 1st Baron Dover, in 1851. They had two sons and five daughters. Bagot died in January 1887, aged 75, and was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son William. Lady Bagot survived her husband by eight years and died in January 1895, aged 68.
