Web Notes notes for Richard Mór DE BURGH 9th Lord Upper Connacht
From "A New History of Ireland," edited by Moody, Martin & Byrne, vol 3, ISBN 0-19-821739-0, 1976, p 509:
In a well-known account of the state of Ireland about 1515, the complaint was made that, in addition to the Irish chiefs who were not subject to the rule of the king of England, there were more than 30 great captains of the English folk who followed the same Irish order. [S.P. Hen VIII, ii, 6-8]. These included the earl of Desmond, Lord Barry, Lord Roche, the Powers of Waterford, Sir Piers Butler, and all the captains of the Butlers of the county of Kilkenny and of the county of Fethard, the two Lords Burke of Connacht, and many others. There were large areas of the country that did not obey the English king's laws, and had neither justices nor sheriffs under the king, and all the English folk there were of Irish habit [wore Irish clothing], of Irish language, and of Irish conditions except in the cities and walled towns.
