Edward Burgh was the son of Sir Thomas Burgh, Knight of the Garter, and Margaret, daughter to Lord Roos.[1] Edward Burgh, 2nd Lord Burgh was born circa 1474 at Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, England.[2]
In 1477 Edward married Anne, daughter and heir to Sir Thomas Cobham,Kt., 5th Baron Cobham and Anne Stafford. Anne Cobham was the widow of Edward Blount, Lord Montjoy.[1] According to Richardson, they had two known sons, Thomas, Lord Burgh and Henry.[3] [2][4]However, the Dictionary of National Biography says they had three sons Thomas, George, and Humphrey and a daughter Margaret.[5]
Edward succeeded his cousin as de jure 4th Baron Strabolgi, and was considered to have succeeded his father as 2nd Lord Burgh of Gainsborough in 1495, although his father never sat in the House of Lords as a peer and Edward, who was Knight of the Shire of Lincoln (MP) in 1492 was declared a lunatic in 1510 and was never summoned to parliament.[2]
He died 20 August 1528, England [2]
