1604 1657 Albans Burgh Deputy Marquis Royalist
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Ulrick de Burgh, Marquis of Clanricarde and second Earl of St Albans, a pivotal figure in Irish and British history during the mid-17th century. Born in 1604, Ulrick was an influential nobleman who held the position of Lord Deputy of Ireland from 1635 to 1638. During this time, he played a crucial role in maintaining the peace between the Irish and English populations, as well as implementing policies to improve the economic and social conditions in Ireland. However, Ulrick's allegiance shifted during the English Civil War, and he became a prominent Royalist commander in Ireland. In 1642, he led the Royalist forces against the Parliamentarians, who were backed by the English Puritans. The conflict between the two sides would last for over a decade, resulting in significant devastation and loss of life. Despite his military prowess, Ulrick's fortunes turned against him in the late 1640s. He was captured by the Parliamentarians in 1646 and was imprisoned until his release in 1650. However, his loyalty to the Crown remained unwavering, and he continued to support the Royalist cause until the end of the war in 1651. Ulrick's legacy is complex, as he is remembered both for his efforts to maintain peace and order in Ireland during his tenure as Lord Deputy, as well as for his role as a Royalist commander during the Civil War. This portrait, likely taken during his time as Lord Deputy, offers a glimpse into the nobleman's regal bearing and the dignity that marked his public image. The intricate details of his attire, from the rich fabrics to the ornate collar, underscore his status as a powerful and influential figure in Irish and British history.
