He was the son of Richard Burke, 2nd Earl of Clanricarde and Margaret O'Brien.
He married Honora Burke, daughter of John Burke, on 25 November 1564 at Athenry, County Galway, Ireland.
He had long been a rebel against the English Crown, and since the 1560s had instigated the "Mac an Iarla" wars in Connaught and Thomond, devastating much of the area, against his father, who was a staunch supporter of Elizabeth I.
On his father's death in 1582 it was uncertain who would inherit the title, Ulick or his brother, John.
Ulick gained the succession by murdering John and acknowledging the supremacy of the Crown.
He remained a loyal subject till his death.

Richard Burke, 2nd Earl of Clanricarde
Richard Sassanach Burke, 2nd Earl of Clanricarde, died 1582.
He was the son of Ulick na gCeann Burke, 1st Earl of Clanricarde and Grace O'Carroll.
He married:
1) Margaret O'Brien, daughter of Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Thomond and Eleanor FitzGerald, before 6 October 1548; 2)
Margaret O'Brien, daughter of Donough O'Brien, 2nd Earl of Thomond and Helen Butler, on 24 November 1553; and 3)
Julia MacCarthy, daughter of
Cormac 'Oge' MacCarthy, in 1568.
He and his first wife, Margaret O'Brien (daughter of Murrough) were divorced after he claimed that she worked witchcraft against him.
As a result of his father's multiple marriages and relationships there were a number of candidates contending for title Earl of Clanricarde.
Richard, the oldest legitimate son, was the eventual successor.
He was sporadically opposed by his brothers and half-brothers, including John, who claimed the title in 1568.
Richard extended his influence at the expense of the O'Kelly's and the O'Madden's in the east of County Galway, overlordship over the O'Shaughnessey in the south, while allying himself with the O'Conor Don and the O'Brien of Thomond.
Other minor allies included the MacCostelloe and MacMorris, who acknowledged him to avoid encroachment from the Bourkes of Mayo.
In 1559 Clanricarde fought on the losing side at the Battle of Spancel Hill in County Clare as part of the Gaelic O'Brien succession dispute.
From around 1570 his sons rebelled against him and the Anglo-Irish government.
That decade witnessed regular warfare across the county which devastated towns such as Galway, Athenry and Loughrea.
At the time of his death Burke had endured imprisonment in Dublin, and repeated treachery by his sons.
After his death, further warfare was avoided when Ulick Burke killed his brother, John of the Shamrocks, and was acknowledged as the 3rd Earl of Clanricarde.
He was called "Sassanach" (Saxon, or Englishman), because of his association with the Anglo-Irish.
He died on 24 July 1582.
Richard Burke, 4th Earl of Clanricarde
Richard Burke, 4th Earl of Clanricarde( also Richard de Burgh)( 1572 – 12 November 1635) was an Irish nobleman and politician.
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.
They had one son, Ulick, and two daughters, Honora, who married John Paulet, 5th Marquis of Winchester, and Mary, wife of Hon. Edward Butler of Ballinahinch.
He was succeeded by his son and heir, Ulick, as 5th Earl of Clanricarde, who in 1622 had married Lady Anne Compton, only daughter of William Compton, 1st Earl of Northampton.
Murrough McDermot O'Brien, 3rd Baron Inchiquin
Murrough McDermot O'Brien
( c. 1550- April 20, 1573) was the 3rd Baron Inchiquin.
He was the son of Dermod O'Brien, 2nd Baron Inchiquin and Margaret O'Brien and inherited his title in 1557 on the death of his father.
He married Mabel Nugent, daughter of Christopher Nugent, 6th Baron Delvin; Murrough O' Brien, 4th Baron Inchiquin was their son and heir.
He was murdered in 1573 by Dermot O' Shaughnessey, supposedly at the instigation of Ulick Burke, 3rd Earl of Clanricarde.
William Burke, 7th Earl of Clanricarde
William Burke, 7th Earl of Clanricarde( died 1687), Irish peer, was the son of Sir William Burke, younger son of Ulick Burke, 3rd Earl of Clanricarde, and Joan O'Shaughnessy.
Burke had served with his brother Richard, the 6th Earl under their cousin, Ulick Burke, 5th Earl of Clanricarde, during the Irish Confederate Wars and they each succeeded to his title.
He became Lord Lieutenant of County Galway in 1680 and its Chief Governor in 1687.
His first wife was Lettice Shirley, daughter of Sir Henry Shirley and Lady Dorothy Devereux and granddaughter of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex.
By her he had three sons including his heir, Richard.
His second wife was Helen, daughter of Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty, by whom he had two sons and two daughters.
William Burke, Lord of Bealatury
William Burke, Lord of Bealatury, Irish noble and soldier, fl. 1580s-1616.
Burke was a member of the Burke family of Clanricarde, in what is now County Galway.
He was one of five brothers who left Ireland to enrol in Spanish service in the late 1580s.
The five were sons of John na Seamar Burke (died 1583) and nephews of Ulick Burke, 3rd Earl of Clanricarde (died 1601).
The eldest of the family was Redmond Burke, Baron Leitrim.
They were in Ireland in time to participate in the Nine Years' War (Ireland).
Philip O'Sullivan Beare relates that in 1599 William Burke secured a victory over "English recruits clad in red coats" .
Both William and Redmond were "some of the chiefs who were along with Red Hugh O'Donnell at Kinsale in 1601".
In the aftermath of the battle it was determined that O'Donnell, "Redmond, the son of John Burke, and Captain Hugh Mus, the son of Robert, should go to Spain to complain of their distresses and difficulties to the King of Spain.
" O'Neill and O'Donnell determined that "These chiefs left some of their neighbouring confederates in Munster, to plunder it in their absence, namely: Captain Tyrrell, the other sons of John Burke, and other gentlemen besides them."
William accompanied Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare on his march north in 1603.
He appears to have gone to Spain in the years afterwards.
William Burke signed himself Lord of Bealatury in Spanish documents of 1616.
