BOYLE, Richard, Earl of Burlington and Cork, son of the former, was born at Youghall in October 1612. He greatly distinguished himself by his loyalty to Charles I., whom during his troubles he supplied both with money and troops; but at last he was obliged to compound for his estate. He contributed all in his power to the Restoration; and by Charles II. he was created Earl of Burlington or Bridlington in 1663. He died in January 1697-8, aged eighty-six.
