Rachel Reid (historian)

Rachel Robertson Reid (31 January 1876 – 10 May 1952) was an English historian. Her work chiefly focused on Tudor history.

Reid was a key influence in the formation of the Historical Association in 1906, in which she acted as an honorary secretary. She remained a lifetime contributor of the association.

She published The Rebellion of the Northern Earls, 1569 in 1906, which was awarded The Alexander Prize. The essay remains a key authority in the history of the Rising of the North.
