Richard Óge Burke
Richard Óge Burke, 7th lord of Clanricarde, died in 1519.
Life
Richard Óge was a son of a previous lord, Ulick Ruadh, and a brother of Ulick Fionn Burke. His son, Sir Uilleag Burke, became Clanricarde in disputed circumstances in 1544. 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.

gollark: "A wizard did it" is a more plausible explanation for lightning than several hundred pages of theory on meteorology and electromagnetism.
gollark: Humans are generally wired to see agency in things which don't actually have it.
gollark: The problem is that "people using psychedelics feel god-related things" is entirely consistent with "god(s) exist" and "god(s) don't exist, but drugs can push god-related buttons in the brain".
gollark: That makes me less convinced, really.
gollark: What of it? Human brains are very glitchy.
