William de Burgh (English: /dˈbɜːr/; d’-BER; French pronunciation:[d.buʁ]; Latin: de Burgo; c. 1160–winter 1205/06)[1] was the founder of the House of Burgh (later surnamed Burke or Bourke) in Ireland[2] and elder brother of Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent and Geoffrey de Burgh, Bishop of Ely.
William is often given the epithet, "the conqueror", but is not to be confused with the English king of the same nickname.
