North Ludlow Beamish (31 December 1797 – 27 April 1872), was an Irish military writer and antiquary.
In November 1816, he obtained a commission in the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, in which corps he purchased a troop in 1823.
He also completed and edited a history of the King's German Legion from its formation in the British service in 1803 to its disbandment in 1816, which was published in England in 1834–7.
[1] After quitting Hanover, Beamish devoted much attention to Norse antiquities, and in 1841 published a summary of the researches of Professor Carl Christian Rafn, relative to the discovery of America by the Northmen in the tenth century.
[1] Beamish, like his younger brother, Richard, who was at one time in the Grenadier guards, was a Fellow of the Royal Society and an associate of several other bodies.
