Tibbot ne Long Bourke (at sea, 1567 – 18 June 1629, Kinturk, Mayo), aka Theobald Bourke, was a clan chief of the MacWilliam Burkes of County Mayo in Ireland, and was later created the first Viscount Mayo. His successful life followed and usefully illustrates the difficult transition for Irish aristocrats from the traditional Gaelic world during the Tudor conquest of Ireland.〔Chambers, A. "''Shadow Lord: Theobald Bourke, Tibbott-Ne-Long, 1567–1629: Son of the pirate queen Grace O'Malley''" (Ashfield Press, Dublin 2007) ISBN 978-1-901658-65-1〕 Bourke's name had varying spellings such as "Teabóid" or "Tepóitt" in medieval Irish. Tibbot derived from ''Thibault'', the French for Theobald; and "ne Long" meant "of the ships", as he was born on a ship. This was usually rendered in Tudor English as: Tibbott or Tibbot ne Long. ==The MacWilliam lordships== Tibbot's Irish ancestors started with William de Burgh who was granted the overlordship of Connacht in 1215 by John Lackland. William's son Richard (d.1243) took actual possession of the province in the 13th century. His descent then divided their lands into: * Mac William Uachtar (Upper), based in County Galway * Mac William Iochtar (Lower), based in County Mayo These branches held their lands against Gaelic and Norman opponents in the following centuries and were typical of the Hiberno-Norman families who intermarried locally and had adopted Gaelic culture by the 15th century (see Gaelic Resurgence). 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「Tibbot ne Long Bourke, 1st Viscount Mayo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
