Ulick Burke, 1st Viscount Galway (English: /ˈjuːlɪk/ YOO-lik; c. 1670 – 1691) was an Irish army officer slain at the Battle of Aughrim while fighting for the Jacobites during the Williamite War in Ireland.
She was a daughter of Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty,[2] and therefore belonged to the MacCarthy of Muskerry dynasty, a Gaelic Irish family that descended from the kings of Desmond.
[12] Following the start of Protestant resistance to the Catholic James II, Galway raised a regiment of foot in Connaught to serve in the Irish Army.
Viscount Galway served actively during the war, and was killed along with many senior Jacobite officers at the 1691 Battle of Aughrim.
[13] The Galway title was subsequently made into an earldom and awarded to Henri de Massue, a French Huguenot commander in the Williamite forces.
