The reason for the marriage was to aid Burke's assimilation into Old English society and learn English.
Lynch was therefore the last of The Tribes of Galway to serve as Mayor in succession to the first, Peirce Lynch, who served the term 1485-86. He was replaced by Colonel Peter Stubbers. Lynch held property on Galway's High Street, now in part occupied by the King's Head public house. Colonel Stubbers seized this from Lynch for his own use.
