Theobald Bourke, 1st Viscount Mayo was born at sea before 1583.[1] He was the son of Sir Richard Bourke and Grace O'Malley.[1]

(Ben M. Angel notes: Given that Grace married Richard for "one year certain" in 1566, and promptly divorced Richard at the end of that year after seizing his Rockfleet Castle, Tibbot had to have been born sometime around 1567.)

He married Maud Sligo, daughter of Charles O'Connor Sligo.

He died on 18 June 1629.[1] He was buried at Ballintober, County Mayo, Ireland.[2]

Theobald Bourke, 1st Viscount Mayo also went by the nick-name of Tibbot-ny-Lung (or in English, Tibbot of the ships).[1]

In 1599 he supported the Crown against the Spaniards at Kinsale.[1]

He was invested as a Knight on 4 January 1602/3 at Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland.[1]

On 25 September 1603 he surrendered his estates, and obtained a regrant under English tenure.[1]

He held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for County Mayo between 1613 and 1615.[2]

He was created 1st Viscount Mayo [Ireland] on 21 June 1627.[1]
