De Burgo, or Burke, was a native of Craughwell, County Galway, listed by Hugh Fenning as Of the family of Cahirkinvonivy. He was professed at Athenry in 1648 and studied for six years in Segovia, later living in Pesaro, Treviso and Milan.
During his lifetime, Athenry began to decline in response to warfare from Clanricarde to the south-east, the Ó Ceallaigh of Uí Maine to the east, and the Ó Conchobhairs and Mac Diarmadas of Síol Muiredaig and Moylurg.
One of his most notorious acts was the destruction of Athenry in 1572, after which he demolished most of the castles in Clanricarde, afterwards plundering south County Galway, County Roscommon, and crossed the Shannon into County Westmeath, where he buried Mullingar, Meelick and Athlone.
