He was nominated as Bishop of Ardagh on 7 April 1692, appointed by letters patent on 8 September 1692 and was consecrated at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, on 11 September 1692. He died later in the same year. Although he owed his earlier advancement to King James II, he was a strong supporter of the Glorious Revolution.[2]
Family
[edit]Burgh married Mary, daughter of Colonel William Kingsmill of Ballinbeg Abbey, County Cork, and had at least eight children. Many of his descendants were people of distinction. His son Thomas Burgh was one of the foremost Irish architects of the eighteenth century: he designed Trinity College Library and Dr Steevens' Hospital among many notable other buildings. Two of Ulysses' other sons, Richard and William, sat in the Irish House of Commons. His daughter Dorothea married Thomas Smyth, Bishop of Limerick, and had a numerous family.[3]
