Elizabeth de Burgh
Elizabeth de Burgh (c. 1284 – 27 October 1327) was the second wife and the only queen consort of King Robert the Bruce.
Elizabeth was born sometime around 1284, probably in Down or Antrim in Ireland.
She was the daughter of one of the most powerful Irish nobles of the period, Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster, who was a close friend and ally of Edward
I of England.
Not much is known about Elizabeth, despite her husband's status as one of the most famous Scottish kings and warriors.
As is the case with most medieval women, records of Elizabeth are scarce; however, it is clear that she was caught up in the political turmoil that unfolded between the Scottish and the English during the reign of her husband King Robert, had to move several times to keep safe, and was eventually seized as a prisoner.
Maud of Lancaster, Countess of Ulster
Maud of Lancaster, Countess of Ulster( c. 1310 – 5 May 1377) was an English noblewoman and the wife of William Donn de Burgh, 3rd Earl of Ulster.
She was the mother of Elizabeth de Burgh," suo jure" Countess of Ulster.
Her second husband was Sir Ralph de Ufford, Justiciar of Ireland.
After Ufford's death, Maud became a canoness at an Augustinian nunnery, Campsey Priory, in Suffolk.

Earlier in his life, he played a first- class match in India for a" Europeans" team against a Hindus team in February 1906.
Commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1893, Hubert de Burgh served in India as Aide de Camp( ADC) to the King at the Delhi Durbar in 1911 and in St Petersburg.
During the Great
War he commanded destroyers and was made a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order for bravery at sea in 1917 as well as being twice mentioned in despatches.
After commanding the Admiralty Yacht and serving in the mediterranean, Captain de Burgh retired in 1923 until he rejoined the RN in 1939.

John and Elizabeth had one son:
However, John died in Galway the next year, leaving his infant son William heir to the Earldom.
Robert the Bruce
Robert I (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329), popularly known as Robert the Bruce (Medieval Gaelic: '; modern Scottish Gaelic: '; Norman French: ' or '; Early Scots: "Robert Brus"), was King of Scotland from 1306 until his death in 1329.
Robert was one of the most famous warriors of his generation, and eventually led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England.
He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent country and is today revered in Scotland as a national hero.
His paternal fourth great-grandfather was
King David I. Robert's grandfather, Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale, was one of the claimants to the Scottish throne during the "Great Cause".
As Earl of Carrick, Robert the Bruce supported his family's claim to the Scottish throne and took part in William Wallace's revolt against Edward I of England.
Appointed in 1298 as a Guardian of Scotland alongside his chief rival for the throne, John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, and William Lamberton, Bishop of St Andrews, Robert later resigned in 1300 due to his quarrels with Comyn and the apparently imminent restoration of John Balliol to the Scottish throne.
After submitting to Edward I in 1302 and returning to "the king's peace", Robert inherited his family's claim to the Scottish throne upon his father's death.
In February 1306, Bruce, having wounded Comyn, rushed from the church where they had met and encountered his attendants outside.
He told them what had happened and said, "I must be off, for I doubt I have slain the Red Comyn.
Doubt?"
, Roger de Kirkpatrick of Closeburn answered.
"I mak sikker,I'll make sure," or "I make sure").
Kirkpatrick then rushed into the church and killed Comyn.
For this, Bruce was then excommunicated by the Pope (although he received absolution from Robert Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow).
Bruce moved quickly to seize the throne, and was crowned king of Scots on 25 March 1306.
Edward I's forces defeated Robert in battle, forcing him to flee into hiding before re-emerging in 1307 to defeat an English army at Loudoun Hill and wage a highly successful guerrilla war against the English.
Bruce defeated his other Scots enemies, destroying their strongholds and devastating their lands, and in 1309 held his first parliament.
A series of military victories between 1310 and 1314 won him control of much of Scotland, and at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, Robert defeated a much larger English army under Edward II of England, confirming the re-establishment of an independent Scottish kingdom.
The battle marked a significant turning point, with Robert's armies now free to launch devastating raids throughout northern England, while also extending his war against the English to Ireland by sending an army to invade there and by appealing to the Irish to rise against Edward II's rule.
Despite Bannockburn and the capture of the final English stronghold at Berwick in 1318, Edward II refused to renounce his claim to the overlordship of Scotland.
In 1320, the Scottish nobility submitted the Declaration of Arbroath to Pope John XXII, declaring Robert as their rightful monarch and asserting Scotland's status as an independent kingdom.
In 1324, the Pope recognised Robert I as king of an independent Scotland, and in 1326, the Franco-Scottish alliance was renewed in the Treaty of Corbeil.
In 1327, the English deposed Edward II in favour of his son, Edward III, and peace was concluded between Scotland and England with the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton in 1328, by which Edward III renounced all claims to sovereignty over Scotland.
Robert died in June 1329.
His body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey, while his heart was interred in Melrose Abbey and his internal organs embalmed and placed in St Serf's Chapel, Dumbarton, site of the medieval Cardross Parish church.
Elizabeth de Portzamparc
Elizabeth de Portzamparc is a French- Brazilian architect.
Elizabeth de Clare
Elizabeth de Clare, 11th Lady of Clare( 16 September 1295 – 4 November 1360) was the heiress to the lordships of Clare, Suffolk, in England and Usk in Wales.
She was the youngest of the three daughters of Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford and Joan of Acre, and sister of Gilbert de Clare, who later succeeded as the 7th Earl.
She is often referred to as Elizabeth de Burgh, due to her first marriage to John de Burgh.
Her two successive husbands were Theobald II de Verdun( of the Butler family) and Roger d'Amory.
William de Burgh
William de Burgh( c. 1160 – winter 1205/ 1206) was the founder of the de Burgh/ Burke/ Bourke dynasty in Ireland.
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.
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.
