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.<ref name=CCC/>
Following the [[Stuart Restoration]], on 26 February 1661, Bagenal was restored to the estates that had been seized from his father under [[The Protectorate]]. He served in the army of the [[James II of England|Duke of York]] in the [[Second Anglo-Dutch War]]. Bagenal briefly fled to France during the [[Popish Plot]] owing to his Catholicism and association with the Duke of York. In 1685 he petitioned James II for a place at court, citing both his faith and his family's loyalty to the Stuarts. Bagenal remained loyal to James after the [[Glorious Revolution]] and in 1689 he was the [[Member of Parliament]] for [[County Carlow (Parliament of Ireland constituency)|County Carlow]] in the brief [[Patriot Parliament]] summoned by James.<ref>O'Hart, John, [https://www.libraryireland.com/Pedigrees2/irish-parliament-king-james.php The Irish Parliament of King James the Second in 1689], ''Irish Pedigrees: or the Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation'' (5th Ed., 1892), Volume 2.

During the [[Williamite War in Ireland]], Bagenal raised and commanded his own regiment for the Jacobites which was present at the [[Battle of the Boyne]].<ref>BAGNALL, Dudley.

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.<ref name=CCC/>
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]].<ref name=CCC/>
