Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster and 3rd Baron of Connaught (1259 \endash 29 July 1326), called The Red Earl (Latinized to de Burgo), was one of the most powerful Irish nobles of the late 13th and early 14th centuries.
Richard's father was Walter de Burgh, 1st Earl of Ulster (of the second creation) and Lord of Connacht, who was the second son of Richard Mór de Burgh, 1st Lord of Connaught and Egidia de Lacy.
"Richard Óg", means "Richard the Young", which may be a reference to his youth when he became earl in 1271, or to differentiate him from his grandfather, Richard Mór.
Richard married Margaret DE BURGH, daughter of John DE BURGH and Cecily DE BALLIOL, before 1280. (Margaret DE BURGH was born about 1260.)
