Sir Uilleag (Ulick) de Burgh (Burke), 1st Clanricarde or Mac William Uachtar (English: /ˈjlɪk dəˈbɜːr ...klænˈrɪkɑːrd/ YOO-lik də-BUR ... klan-RIK-ard; died 1343 or 1353) was an Irish chieftain and noble who was leader of one of the three factions who fought the Burke Civil War in the 1330s. By the end of the conflict he had established himself and his descendants as Clanricarde, also known as Mac William Uachtar (Upper Mac William), independent lords of Galway. He was succeeded by his son, Richard Óg Burke, 2nd Clanricarde (d.1387).
