Career
Richard was the elder son of William Burke, 7th Earl of Clanricarde and appears to have been the first of the family to conform (to the Protestant faith), as Charles II wrote to his father congratulating him on "being thoroughly instructed in the protestant religion as it stands established, having forsaken that of Rome which hath always given jealousies to the crown". He was made Baron Dunkellin in 1680.[1]
Clanricarde was appointed Governor and Custos Rotulorum of County Galway, and commanded a regiment of infantry during the Williamite War in Ireland. He surrendered the town of Galway in July 1690. His younger brother, Ulick, commanded a regiment of foot at the Battle of Aughrim where he was killed, aged twenty-two. Richard was outlawed on 11 May 1691. His sister Honora was married to the Jacobite leader Patrick Sarsfield.[2][1]
Family
Richard married three times. Firstly, he married Elizabeth Bagnall. They had a daughter:
- Lady Dorothy Bourke. She was educated at Priest's School, Chelsea, where she performed in Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.[3] She married Alexander Pendarves[4]
Secondly, he married Anne Cheke, Dowager Countess of Warwick, the daughter of Sir Thomas Cheke (d.1659), and widow of Richard Rogers and Robert Rich, 3rd Earl of Warwick (1611-59).[5] Their daughter was:
- Lady Mary Bourke (d.1714)
Thirdly, he married Bridget Dillon, daughter of Henry, 8th Viscount Dillon.
Without a male heir, Richard was succeeded, as Earl, by his brother John.[6]
