Clan Burke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Clan Burke, also known as the de Burgh, Bourke or Burke family, are descendants of William de Burgh (c.1160?-1204), a Norman adventurer and knight who settled in Ireland. He was probably the elder brother of Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent. The surname is one of the most common in Ireland, particularly north Munster and Connacht.
