John Burke, 9th Earl of Clanricarde (English: /klænˈrɪkɑːrd/; klan-RIK-ard); 1642–1722) was an Irish soldier and peer who was a colonel during the Williamite War in Ireland.
Career
Burke was a younger son of William Burke, 7th Earl of Clanricarde and succeeded his brother Richard. On 2 April 1689, he was created Baron Bourke of Boffin (over the Isle of Inishbofin where Burke is still a common surname amongst the islanders). This creation was made, in the Irish Peerage by the exiled James II, being one of seven peerages created four months after James's exclusion from the English throne.[1] He commanded a foot regiment as its colonel during the Williamite War in Ireland. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Aughrim on 12 July 1691 and outlawed. His younger brother Ulick Burke, 1st Viscount Galway was killed in the same battle.[2]
Burke was attainted, and a bill for his restoration was rejected in 1698. In 1703, however, he obtained a reversal in return for a fine of twenty-five thousand pounds and the commitment that his two eldest sons, Michael and Ulick, would be raised as Protestants, after a private act of the English Parliament.[3]
While Burke's elder sons, Michael and Ulick, conformed (to the Protestant faith), the younger Burkes remained Catholic and fought with the Wild Geese. Colonel Ulick Burke served the King of France, living as late as 1757. Lt. General Eamonn Burke was a member of the Irish regiment in Spain, and died at Bologna in 1744. William Burke was killed at Fontenoy in 1745. Burke's sister Honora Burke was married to the Jacobite soldier Patrick Sarsfield, 1st Earl of Lucan.[4]
