He was the son of Ulick Burke, 3rd Earl of Clanricarde and Honora Burke.
Knighted in 1602 for his exploits as leader of the English cavalry during the Battle of Kinsale, he would later serve as Governor of Connaught from 1604 to 1616, and as a member of the Privy Council of Ireland.
Having established himself as the largest and most influential landowner in Connacht, his later life was characterized by animosity between him and an increasingly hostile and acquisitive Dublin government.
He actively served Queen Elizabeth I against the rebel Irish lordships and their Spanish allies during the Nine Years' War.
He was appointed governor of Connaught, member of the privy council in Ireland, and, in 1624, created Viscount Tunbridge and Baron of Somerhill, a manor which he owned in Kent.
The titles of Viscount Galway and Earl of St. Albans were conferred on him in 1628.
By 1633 he was not only one of the principal landowners in Ireland, but virtually all powerful in County Galway.
This aroused the resentment of the Dublin Government, which decided to use the method of empanelling juries to "find" defective titles, in order to recover the lands in question for the English Crown.
The treatment which Lord Clanricarde experienced from the Lord Deputy of Ireland, Thomas Wentworth, was said to have accelerated his death in November 1635:
Wentworth however pointed to the Earl's advancing years and asked sarcastically if he was to blame for a man being over sixty.
The feud, which was continued by Clanricarde's son and heir, was in the long run very damaging to Strafford, who apparently did not reflect on the close connections Clanricarde, through his wife, had with just that faction of the English nobility, the Rich-Devereux clan, who were most hostile to Strafford.
In 1603, he married Frances Walsingham, the widow of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex.
