Walter Liath de Burgh
Sir Walter Liath de Burgh, Anglo- Irish magnate, died February 1332.
De Burgh was the eldest son of Sir William Liath de Burgh and Finola Ni Briain.
He is first attested in 1326 when he and the late Earl of Ulster's son, Sir Edmund de Burgh, were appointed guardians of the peace in Connacht, Tipperary and Limerick, and custodians of the late earl's lands in those counties.
De Burgh aggradised the lordship of Connacht to himself that in 1330, its lord, the Earl of Ulster, was forced into open conflict with de Burgh, who was his cousin.
Warfare continued till November 1331 when the Earl captured Walter and his two brothers, imprisoning them in Northburgh Castle, County Donegal.
Walter died there of starvation in February 1332.
Walter's sister, Gylle de Burgh, planned revenge on the earl.
She persuaded her husband, Richard de Mandeville, and John de Logan, both liegemen of the earl, to murder the latter at Carrickfergus on 6 June 1333.
This death was a catastrophe for the Anglo- Irish colony, as within six months all Ulster west of the Bann was lost, while Connacht descended into factionalism.
For over two hundred years it would remain largely outside the realm of the Dublin government.
Walter was married to a woman called Margaret, and had one known child, Matilda.
Margaret later married Aedh O Conchobair, a king of Connacht.
She died in 1361.
Matilda married William, son of Sir John Darcy.
Gylle de Burgh
Gylle de Burgh, was an Anglo- Irish Lady,( fl. 1332).
De Burgh was the only daughter of Sir William Liath de Burgh( died 1323) and a sister of Sir Walter Liath de Burgh.
Walter was captured and starved to death by his cousin, the Earl of Ulster, in 1332.
Gylle, married to Richard de Manderville, had her husband and his family kill the earl at Carrickfergus on 6 June 1333 in revenge.
This murder was directly responsible for the destruction of the great de Burgh lordship of Connacht, and the loss of Ulster to the Gaelic- Irish till the Ulster Plantations of 1610.

John de Burgh (bishop)
John de Burgh, or de Burgo, or Burke (1590 – 4 April 1667) was an Irish Roman Catholic clergyman who served as Vicar Apostolic and Bishop of Clonfert from 1629 to 1647 and Archbishop of Tuam from 1647 to 1667.
John de Burgh was a member of the Clanricarde Burkes of County Galway.
He and his brother Hugh were taught by a member of the Ó Maolconaire family, from whom they learned very considerable Greek and Latin.
John and Hugh left for the continent in 1614, John to Lisbon, Hugh to Louvain where he joined the Franciscans.
John de Burgh was ordained a priest and returned to Ireland around 1624, working for two years in the Diocese of Tuam under Boetius Egan.
In 1627, on Egan's recommendation, he was appointed Apostolic Vicar of the Diocese of Clonfert by a papal brief on 13 October 1629.
During the projected Plantation of Connacht in the 1630s, his influence on Catholic members of the 1634 Parliament was so great that Lord Stafford issued warrants for his arrest,
necessitating de Burgh hiding until the Viceroy's recall.
On the recommendation of Bishop MacEgan of Elphin, he was appointed to Bishop of Clonfert on 16 October 1641, and consecrated on 9 April 1642.
He subscribed to the ordinances agreed upon for the war against Parliament, spending almost all of his time in Kilkenny assisting the seventy-two-year-old David Rothe.
During these years, Hugh de Burgh was agent for the Supreme Council at the Court of the Netherlands.
Upon the death of Malachias O'Queely, he was appointed Archbishop of Tuam by the Supreme Council of the Catholic Confederation of Ireland on 11 March 1647.
On the same date he became archbishop, his brother, Hugh, was appointed Bishop of Kilmacduagh.
He was noted as a good administrator of his dioceses, reforming many deep abuses, had churches repaired and established schools.
In matters of policy he was akin to his kinsman, Ulick Burke, Earl of Clanricarde.
He became known for founding an extensive library in Tuam, which is thought was used by the likes of John Lynch and Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh.
He also advanced a large sum to the Jesuits to maintain a seminary in Galway, in which town he built himself a residence three stories high.
He came into conflict with Walter Lynch, Vicar-capitular of Tuam, who was the Papal Nuncio's choice for the vacant see of Clonfert; however, de Burgh wanted it for his brother, Hugh.
Giovanni Battista Rinuccini described the brothers as hot-headed, and wishing to have everything their own way ... that it would be unwise to have two brothers collated to the two best dioceses in the province ... that the Archbishop of Tuam was the most unmanageable and refractory of all the Irish prelates with whom he had to deal.
He blames me for recommending Lynch, and what is worse, he blames another who is superior to us all.
He died on Holy Thursday, 4 April 1667, and was buried in the Oratory of St. Jarlath.
