George Goring was in many ways the archetypal cavalier; often portrayed as possessing all the worst characteristics associated with the followers of King Charles I. This modern biography of Goring weaves together the main events of his life with the wider history of his age.
George Goring was in many ways the archetypal cavalier, often portrayed as possessing all the worst characteristics associated with the followers of King Charles I. He drank copiously, dressed and entertained lavishly, gambled excessively, abandoned his wife frequently, and was quick to resort to swordplay when he felt his honour was at stake. Yet, he was also an active Member of Parliament and a respected soldier, who learnt his trade on the Continent during the Dutch Wars, and put his expertise to good use in support of the royalist cause during the English Civil War.
