Porter, ENDYMION (1587-1649), groom of the bedchamber to Charles I., whom he accompanied (with Buckingham) to Spain, and attended on the field during the Civil War—without actually fighting, it would appear. He was a patron of poets and artists, and wrote many verses. See his Life and Letters by Miss Townshend (1897).
