Life

edit

Richard Óge was a son of a previous chieftain, Ulick Ruadh Burke, 5th Clanricarde (d.1485), and a brother of Ulick Fionn Burke, 6th Clanricarde (d.1509) whom he succeeded as chieftain in 1509. Richard's son, Sir Uilleag Burke, became 13th Clanricarde in disputed circumstances in 1544.[2]

No other Burke of his line would again rise to overall leadership of the Burkes, but he was ancestor to the Burke family of Derrymaclachtna Castle, Lackagh, County Galway, who were an important branch of the family.[citation needed]
