Ulysses Burgh

Ulysses Burgh (English: /ˈbɜːr/; BER; 1632–1692) was an Irish Anglican cleric who was Dean of Emly (1685–1692) and Bishop of Ardagh (1692).

Drumkeen was burnt by Jacobite forces during the Glorious Revolution, but rebuilt, and remained the family home for generations.

[2] Burgh married Mary, daughter of Colonel William Kingsmill of Ballinbeg Abbey, County Cork, and had at least eight children.

His son Thomas Burgh was one of the foremost Irish architects of the eighteenth century: he designed Trinity College Library and Dr Steevens' Hospital among many notable other buildings.

Another great-grandson was Walter Hussey Burgh, Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, and one of the foremost orators of his generation.
