Barons Burgh
Thomas Burgh's son, Sir Edward Burgh (c.1463–1528), did not sit in Parliament. However, his son, Thomas Burgh (c.1488–1550), was summoned to Parliament in 1529 and this was deemed as the creation of the barony. In this barony, Thomas, 3rd Baron Burgh was Lord Deputy of Ireland(1597), and his younger brother, Sir John Burgh (d. 1594), was a distinguished soldier and sailor. Robert, 6th Baron Burgh died as a young child in 1602, and the barony fell into abeyance among his four sisters.

Richard Mór's second son, Walter de Burgh (c.1210–71), continued warfare against the native chieftains and added greatly to his vast domains by obtaining, from Prince Edward, a grant of "the county of Ulster" (c. 1255) in consequence of which he was styled later Earl of Ulster. Walter, 1st Earl of Ulster was succeeded by his son, Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster.

William de Burgh
The original de Burgh coat of arms was adopted during the beginnings of the age of heraldry in the thirteenth century. It was blazoned as Or, a cross gules (a red cross on a gold shield). According to legend, the arms originated during the Crusades while an ancestor of the de Burghs was fighting for King Richard the Lionheart. Given that this ancestor did not yet have a crest of his own, he carried a plain gold shield and it is said that, following a successful battle, the Lionheart marked a...
