JENNINGS
 Burke, along with its variants Bourke and de Burgh, is the most common Irish name of Norman origin; over 20,000 Irish people
bear the surname The first person of the name to arrive on Ireland was William Fitzadelm de Burgo, a Norman knight from Burgh
in Suffock who took part in the invasion of 1171 and succeeded Strongbow as Chief Governor. He received the earldom of Ulster,
and was granted territory in Connacht. His descendants adopted Gaelic law and customs more completely the any of the
other Norman invaders and quickly became one of the most important families in the country. According to legend the arms of
the family originated during the Crusades when King Richard dipped his finger in the blood of a Saracen slain by one of the
de Burghs drew a cross on the Saracen's golden shield and presented it to the victor. |
