Goring, George Goring, Lord

    0.01 sec.

Goring, George Goring, Lord (1608-1657)

English Royalist commander who was appointed governor of Portsmouth in 1639, and was concerned in the Army Plot, which he betrayed to Parliament. Nevertheless, when the Civil War broke out he declared for the King and held Portsmouth for him for a time. He took part in the battle of Marston Moor, and later commanded Royalist forces in the west, where the plundering of his soldiers made him notorious. He was defeated after Naseby at Langport, and fled to France.

Goring was son of the Earl of Norwich. He died at Madrid.
