Sir Edward Burgh (pronounced "Borough"; died before April 1533)[1][2][3][4] was the eldest son and heir to Sir Thomas Burgh, 1st Baron Burgh and his wife Agnes Tyrwhit. He is known for being the first husband of Catherine Parr,[1][2][3][4][5] later queen of England. 18th-century historians have mistaken him for his grandfather, the elderly, Edward Burgh, 2nd Baron Burgh.[6]
