De Burgo baronets
The de Burgo Baronetcy (Latin: de Burgo; Irish: de Búrca; English: de Burgh), of Castle Connell in the County of Limerick, was a title in the Baronetage of Ireland created on 16 June 1785 for Richard de Burgo.[1] The first Baronet was born Richard Burke, but later assumed the surname of de Burgo (the Latin spelling of the family surname). The title became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in 1873. The de Burgo family were believed to be a branch of the Burke (or de Burgh) family headed by the Earl of Clanricarde.
