Roland de Burgo

Roland de Burgo (died 20 June 1580) was an Irish Church of Ireland cleric who was Dean of Clonfert, Bishop of Clonfert (1534–1580) and Bishop of Elphin (1551–1580).

He was a descendant of the House of Burgh: the surname "de Burgo" is the latinised form of this name (with the gaelicised form being de Búrca or Búrc, later Burke).

He accepted royal supremacy in 1538 and was confirmed or re-appointed by King Henry VIII on 24 October 1541.

De Burgo acknowledged papal authority in the reign of Queen Mary I, but again accepted royal supremacy under Queen Elizabeth I.

The Annals of the Four Masters record his obituary as follows: Roland, the son of Redmond, son of Ulick Burke of Knocktua, Bishop of Clonfert, died; and the loss of this good man was the cause of great lamentation in his own country.
