Richard III de Bermingham

Edmond I de Bermingham, Anglo-Irish lord, born 1570, died 1645.

Edmond prospered during the economic recovery of Ireland in the early decades of the 17th century. However, he was one of dozens of Connacht landowners threatened with confiscation by Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford during the 1630s. Though never among the most prominent persons of the era, he was associated with the likes of Patrick D'Arcy, Sir Diarmaid Ó Seachnasaigh and Richard Martyn.

He became a member of the Confederate Ireland after the Irish Rebellion of 1641.
