Narrative

Besides his vast possessions in Connaught, De Burgh seems to have had other estates in Ireland. His father had received a grant of Desmond manor from Henry III, and from a document dated 3 Aug. 1253 we learn that the same Richard had held lands of Maurice Fitzgerald. It was probably from some dispute as to these estates that the quarrel between De Burgh and the latter noble arose in 1264, on which occasion the Earl of Ulster seized all Fitzgerald's castles in Connaught, and the major part of Erin was destroyed between them. Peace seems to have been restored by 10 June 1265, if we may trust the terms of a letter of Henry III, exhorting De Burgh not to lend assistance to the rebellion of Prince Edward.
