GEOEGE GORING, F.ARL OF NORWICH, AND HIS SON 

 GEORGE, LORD GORING. 



G.'s infjiiiry (Vol. i., p. 22.) about the two 

 Gorings oC tlie Civil War — a period of our liis- 

 tory ill wiiic'li I am much interested — has led me 

 to look iiilo some of tiie sources of original infor- 

 mation for that time, in the hope that I might be 

 enabled to answer iiis (Queries. I regret I cannot 

 yet answer his precise questions, when Lord Goring 

 the son was married, and when and where he died ? 

 but I think the following references to notices of 

 the father and the son will be acce])table to him ; 

 and I venture to think that the working out in this 

 way of neglected biographies, is one of the many 



uses to which your excellent periodical may be 

 applied. 



Confusion has undoubtedly been made between 

 the father and son by careless compilers. But 

 whoever carefully reads the passages of contem- 

 porary writers relating to the two Gorings, and 

 keeps in mind that the title of Earl of Norwich, 

 given by Charles I. in November, 1644, to the 

 father, was not recognised by the parliamentary 

 party, will have no difficulty in distinguishing be- 

 tween the two. Thus it will -be seen in two of the 

 passages which I subjoin from Carte's Letters, that 

 in 1649 a parliamentarian calls the father Lord 

 Goring, and Sir Edward Nicholas calls him Earl 

 of Norwich. 



Burke, in his Dormant and Extinct Peerages, 

 vol. iii., makes the mistake of giving to the father 

 the son's proceedings at Portsmouth at the begin- 

 ning of the Civil War. 



Lord Goring the son, then Colonel Goring, com- 

 manding a regiment in the Low Countries, was, at 

 the s'ege of Breda, September, 1637, severely 

 wounded in the leg, and had a narrow escape of 

 losing it. Sir William Boswell, the English am. 

 bassador at the Hague, writes to Bramhall, then 

 Bishop of Derry, and afterwards Archbishop of 

 Armagh : — 



" Colonel Goring having the guard of the English 

 in the approaches, was shot so dangerously cross the 

 shin of his leg, a little above his ankle, as the chirur- 

 gion at first resolved to cut off his leg to save his life ; 

 but upon second ihoujhts, and some opposition by one 

 of them against four, they forebare ; and now, thanks 

 be to God, he is gotten out of danger of losing life or 

 leg this bout : his excellent merits caused a great sor- 

 row at his misfortune, and now as great comfort in the 

 hope of his recovery " — (liawdun Papers, p. .'59.) 



Tliat the son was already married to Lady Le- 

 titia Boyle at Christmas, 1641, appears from a 

 letter of the Earl of Cork, the lady's father, to the 

 Earl of Norwicii (at that time Lord Goring), in 

 Lord Orrery's State Letters (vol. i. p. 5. Dublin 

 edition) : — 



" I have scarce time to present my service to you and 

 your lady, and to George and my poor Letitia, whom 

 God bless."
