William fitz Robert Barry (fl. 1615), Irish harper.

His full name was William fitz Robert fitz Edmond Barry, that is, William son of Robert son of Edmond Barry. He was a blind harper in the service of David de Barry, 5th Viscount Buttevant (died 1617), the same person who "had been commissioned by Queen Elizabeth to exterminate the harpers."
