Ulick Burke, 1st Viscount Galway (1670-1691) was an Irish soldier who died at the Battle of Aughrim while fighting for the Jacobite cause during the Williamite War in Ireland. He was the son of William Burke, 7th Earl of Clanricarde of County Galway and his second wife Helen MacCarty. Two of his half-brothers Richard and John successively succeeded his father as Earl. He was the sister of Honora Burke and the brother-in-law to her husband the Jacobite leader Patrick Sarsfield.〔Wauchope p.89〕 Following the outbreak of Protestant resistance to the Catholic James II, Galway raised a regiment in Connaught to serve in the Irish Army. He served actively during the war, and was killed along with many senior Jacobite officers at the 1691 Battle of Aughrim.〔Wauchope p.234〕 He was married to Frances Lane, daughter of George Lane, 1st Viscount Lanesborough, but had no children before his death. Galway was subsequently made into an earldom and awarded to Henri de Massue a French Huguenot commander in the Williamite forces. ==References== 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「Ulick Burke, 1st Viscount Galway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
