From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mac William Uachtar, or The Clanricarde, was a title held by twleve members of the Burke family of Clanricarde between 1332 and 1544. It was a Gaelic title meaning "son of the upper William (de Burgh)". It was used to differentiate the Burkes of upper or south Connacht from their cousins, the Bourkes of lower or north Connacht, who were known was the Mac William Lower.
However it was never used as popularly as the term Clanricarde and was in any case abaondoned by the end of the 16th century.
