| Jean de Conteville = John 'de Burgh', Earl of Comyn, Baron of Tonsburgh | |||||||||||||||
| For its interest value only, we follow Lodge (vol 1, used for the continuation), in showing a descent for John from Charlemagne. Although that appears to be supported without qualification by various web sites, we view the connection with great suspicion and suggest that it not be taken too seriously. | |||||||||||||||

| BE1883 ('Burgh of Kent'), supported by BP1870 ('Clanricarde'), reports that William was father of both Adelme (described as ancestor of the house of Clanricarde and numerous families of De Burgh, Burgh, Burke, Bourke, etc) and John and reports that that John was father of Hubert, Earl of Kent. BE1883 ('De Burgh of Ulster') reports that Richard de Burgh 'the Great' was son of William FitzAdelm. Various web sites therefore show Richard 'the Great' as son of William son of Adelm son of William, 2nd Earl of Cornwall. HOWEVER, TCP reports that William (2nd Earl) probably died without issue. The matter is considered further on Burgh02 where the Connaught & Kent lines are shown. | |||||||||||||||
