John Óge Burke, Irish gentleman and soldier, executed June 1601. Burke was one of the sons of John na Seamar Burke (died 1583). He was a participant in the Nine Years' War (Ireland), fighting alongside his brothers, John na Seamar Burke and William Burke, Lord of Bealatury. However he was captured in the first week of 1601. The Annals of the Four Masters, ''sub anno'' 1601, outline John Oge's fate: ''After the sons of John Burke had gone to O'Donnell, as we have already stated, they continued, whithersoever they went, in company with O'Donnell, to harass and plunder the Queen's people; for which reason the Lord Justice of Ireland ordered the Earl of Ormond to put to death their brother, John Oge Burke, whom we have mentioned as having been taken prisoner in the first week of this year, in O'Meagher's country of Ikerrin, by some of the gentlemen of the Butlers. This was accordingly done in the month of June.'' ==External links== * http://www.ucc.ie/celt/online/T100005F/text013.html 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Óge Burke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
