  • Folger Shakespeare Library Collections RE Bagot, Richard, approximately 1530-1597 — "Richard Bagot was a sheriff of Staffordshire, a deputy lieutenant, a commissioner for recusants, a commissioner of array and a J.P. For years he was responsible to the Crown as steward for the management of Thomas, Lord Paget's estates, confiscated after he was implicated in Throckmorton's plot in 1583 and attainted. Walter Bagot does not seem to have been entrusted with as many responsibilities as his father. He was sheriff twice and collected loans at least as many times.
