Maire Lynch
Maire Lynch, Countess of Clanricarde, fl. 1547 in Ireland, 1547. Lynch was a member of the Tribes of Galway who married, prior to his death in 1544, Ulick na gCeann Burke, 1st Earl of Clanricarde. The reason for the marriage was to aid Burke's assimilation into Old English society and learn English. However, Lynch was only one of three wives that Burke was simultaneously married to (see Early Irish Law). Upon his death, she claimed that their son, John Burke, should become 2nd Earl. A commission established that the legitimate heir was Richard Burke, 2nd Earl of Clanricarde, son of Burke's first marriage to Grainne Ni Cearbaill of Ely O'Carroll. Lynch was in compensation granted £300.00. Her son, John, would nevertheless challenge his half-brother for the earldom in the 1550s. In 1553, the Annals of the Four Masters state that John Burke was besieged at his castle of Binmore (''Beann-mor'') by Earl Richard, but the latter had been driven off by Donnell O'Brien.

Anglican Church
Anglicanism is a Western Christian tradition that has developed from the practices, liturgy, and identity of the Church of England following the English Reformation, in the context of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. It is one of the largest branches of Christianity, with around 110 million adherents worldwide . Adherents of Anglicanism are called ''Anglicans''; they are also called ''Episcopalians'' in some countries. The majority of Anglicans are members of national or regional ecclesiastical provinces of the international Anglican Communion, which forms the third-largest Christian communion in the world, after the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. These provinces are in full communion with the See of Canterbury and thus with the Archbishop of Canterbury, whom the communion refers to as its ''primus inter pares'' (Latin, 'first among equals'). The Archbishop calls the decennial Lambeth Conference, chairs the meeting of primates, and is the pres ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
