in his ''Irish pedigrees; or, The origin and stem of the Irish nation'' (1876), and in the Oxford ''A New History of Ireland'' (1984), where the authors write "The origins of the Clanricard line are not absolutely proven, but the descent given is that in the best Irish genealogical sources and is not contradicted by contemporary sources." On this view, Burke would have been the leader of an illegitimate branch of the de Burgh family that were already strong in south Connaught, and were able to use the conflict of the 1330s to establish themselves as an independent lordship. The name "Clanricarde", first recorded in 1335, would reflect their ancestry from Richard Óg de Burgh, and might have already been in informal use for a number of generations. However, as noted by Martin J. Blake in 1911, the pedigree above is not without its problems. In particular, William Liath de Burgh, the founder of the Franciscan Abbey in Galway, is known to have died in 1324. As Blake writes "it is obvious, having regard to these dates, that he could hardly have been a grandson (as these writers represent him to be) of the first William de Burgh in Ireland, who died early in A.D. 1206 as the English State Records prove." The MacFirbis pedigree also omits Burke's successor,

, 2nd Clanricarde (d.1387) whose existence is well attested. Blake concludes that MacFirbis and the earlier manuscript "are accurate as regards the genealogy they give of the Mac William Bourkes of Mayo (Mac William Eighter) but that they had no accurate information regarding the early part of the pedigree of the Mac William Burkes of Clan-Ricard (Mac William Oughter) and could only make a guess at it–with the not surprising result, that they made a mess of it." A different ancestry for Burke was given by John Lodge in his ''Peerage of Ireland'' (2nd ed, 1789), and followed by

Edmund Lodge Edmund Lodge, KH (1756–1839), herald, was a long-serving English officer of arms, a writer on heraldic subjects, and a compiler of short biographies. Life and career Lodge was born in Poland Street, London on 13 June 1756, the son of Edmund Lo ...

among the de Burghs. Ulick de Burgh is presented as the son of William Liath de Burgh, and so brother to Edmond Albanach de Burgh, 1st

(d.1375) and Walter de Burgh, with Ulick and Edmond ultimately partitioning Connaught between themselves at the end of the conflict as brothers. Blake asserts that the Burke who was a son of Richard an Fhorbhair should be identified with Ulick Burke of Umhaill (d.1343) ancestor of the Bourkes of the Owles, in County Mayo. Moreover, recent scholarship has shed light on the true early ancestry of the de Burgh (Burke) family, most notedly that Richard Óg de Burgh, illegitimate son of William de Burgh (d. 1206), never existed and was a complete genealogical invention. Both Oxford Dictionary of National Biography articles published in the 21st century on William de Burgh (died 1206) and his son Richard de Burgh (died 1243) confirm that the elder William (died 1206) had only one son named Richard de Burgh (died 1243). As such, it is widely accepted amongst eminent genealogical historians that William de Burgh (died 1206) had just three sons (Richard Mór de Burgh, 1st Lord of Connacht; Hubert de Burgh, Bishop of Limerick; and William de Burgh, Sheriff of Connacht) with only one being named Richard de Burgh. Therefore, it is Richard Mór de Burgh's (died 1243) youngest son, William Óg de Burgh (died 1270), who is the ancestor of the
