The Bagge family is a Swedish noble family, originally of Norwegian origin from Marstrand, Bohuslän, by Nils Fredriksson Bagge, burgher and mayor of Marstrand in the 17th century.[2] [3] [4] According to Danmarks Adels Aarbog, the yearbook of the Danish Nobility, ennobled Sea Captain Peder Bagge was issued from the family.
One branch through Peder Bagge was conferred Danish nobility in 1582 for war deeds.
The engineer, Major Samuel Bagge made contributions to several national engineering endeavours, including the Göta Canal. In the Revolution of 1809 he served as an envoy between the parties of Herman Wedel Jarlsberg/Charles August, Crown Prince of Sweden, and Georg Adlersparre/Baltzar von Platen. Samuel Bagge was conferred Swedish nobility in 1814, but went under water in a storm in Vättern the same year. A street bears his name in Lerum, Västra Götaland County.[5]
