Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster

Richard Óg de Burgh died at Athassel Priory on 29 July 1326, leaving behind a man who shaped half of Ireland through force, marriage and memory. The Red Earl fought in Wales, clashed with Kildare, and sent his children into the highest houses of Britain. His life stretched from a young inheritance to an old death, tying Ulster, Connacht and Scotland together under one name.
