[Most of this page was first launched as the lower section of Burgh01. It was moved here on 10.01.20 when the original Burgh02 was renamed Burgh11.]
| A note on Burgh01 (under William, 2nd Earl of Cornwall) refers to disputed reports of the ancestry of the Lords of Connaught and Hubert, Earl of Kent. To that may be added that: * TCP ('Ulster') calls the suggestion that William de Burgh, father of Richard 'the Great', was the same person as William FitzAdelm as an "extraordinary belief" that has been "exploded". It says that William de Burgh's parentage is unknown (but see below). * TCP ('Ulster') reports that William, Lord of Connaught, was brother (probably the elder brother) of Hubert, Earl of Kent. This compares with the implication by BE1883 that they were cousins. * TCP ('Kent') says that Hubert of Kent's parentage is unknown although it does report some unproven suggestions." * TCP ('Ulster') includes a note that says "The parentage of William and Hubert has not been ascertained but Ellis ... suggests, with reservations, that their father may have been Walter de Burgh, of Burgh-next-Aylsham, Norfolk ...Herbert's mother was certainly Alice". |

That identification is supported by BE1883 (which shows her below) & Lodge.

| The earldom was created only for Hubert and any male heirs of his marriage to Margaret, Princess of Scotland. BE1883 reports that his first wife was Margaret, dau of Robert de Arsic, but although TCP (Kent), which agrees with BE1883 on his 2nd and 3rd wives, notes that such marriage is mentioned in some sources and gives it some consideration, does not support that view.

| Strangely, this John is not mentioned in BE1883 ('Burgh of Kent') but is identified as Margaret's father under BE1883 ('De Burgh of Ulster') although some sources indicate that the Margerie noted above as a nun was the Margaret who married Richard 'the Red'. | |||||||||||||||
