High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Baron Burgh is a title that has been created three times in the Peerage of England. The first creation was for William de Burgh in 1327. However, nothing further is known about this peerage. The title was created for a second time in 1487 when Sir Thomas Burgh was summoned to Parliament as Lord Burgh. He was the son of Thomas Burgh, Lord of Gainsborough, and Elizabeth, granddaughter of Elizabeth of Atholl, daughter of David of Strathbogie, 12th Earl of Atholl and 3rd Baron Strabolgi. However, Lord Burgh's son Edward Burgh did not receive a writ of summons to the House of Lords, although he did represent Lincolnshire in the House of Commons. Consequently, the 1487 creation is considered to have become extinct on the first Baron's death in 1496. However, Edward Burgh's son Sir Thomas Burgh was summoned to the House of Lords in 1529 as Baron Burgh, of Gainsborough in the County of Lincoln. He was already held to have succeeded as fifth Baron Strabolgi, although he was never summoned to Parliament in this title or confirmed in it. His grandson, the third Baron, notably served as Lord Deputy of Ireland.
