Buckingham, and through the latter's recommendation became See also:groom of the bedchamber to See also:Charles I. In See also:October 1622 he was sent to negotiate concerning the affairs of the See also:Palatinate and the See also:marriage with the Infanta. He accompanied Charles and Buckingham on their foolhardy expedition in 1623, acted as their interpreter, and was included in the consequent attack made by See also:Lord See also:Bristol on Buckingham in 1626. In 1628 he was employed as See also:envoy to Spain to negotiate for See also:peace, and in 1634 on a See also:mission to the See also:Netherlands to the See also:Infante See also:Ferdinand.

Oxford in 1643. He had, however, little faith in the king's See also:measures. " His See also:Majesty's businesses," he writes in 1641, " run in their wonted channel—subtle designs of gaining the popular See also:opinion and weak executions for the up-holding of See also:monarchy." His fidelity to Charles was of a See also:personal, not of a See also:political nature. " My See also:duty and See also:loyalty have taught me to follow my king," he declares, " and by the See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

grace of See also:God nothing shall divert me from it." This devotion to the king, the fact that he was the See also:agent and protege of Buckingham, and that his wife Olivia, daughter of See also:John, Lord Boteler of Bramfield, and niece of Buckingham, was a zealous See also:Roman See also:Catholic, See also:drew upon him the hostility of the opposite See also:faction. As member of the See also:Long Parliament, in which he sat as member for See also:Droitwich, he was one of the minority of 59 who voted against See also:Strafford's See also:- ATTAINDER (from the O. Fr. ataindre, ateindre, to attain, i.e. to strike, accuse, condemn; Lat. attingere, tangere, to touch; the meaning has been greatly affected by the confusion with Fr. taindre, teindre, to taint, stain, Lat. tingere, to dye)

On the 15th of See also:February 1642 he was voted one of the dangerous counsellors, and specially excepted from See also:pardon on the 4th of October and in the See also:treaties of peace negotiated subsequently, while on the loth of See also:March 1643 he was excluded from parliament. Porter was also implicated in the See also:army See also:plot; he assisted Glamorgan in illegally putting the See also:great See also:seal to the See also:commission to negotiate with the Irish in 1644; and was charged with having in the same manner affixed the
great seal of Scotland, then temporarily in his keeping, to that of O'See also:Neill in 1641, and of having incurred some responsibility for the Irish See also:rebellion. Towards the end of 1645, when the king's cause was finally lost, Porter abandoned See also:England, and resided successively in See also:France, See also:Brussels, where he was reduced to great poverty, and the Netherlands. The See also:property which he had accumulated during the See also:tenure of his various appointments, by successful commercial undertakings and by favours of the See also:court, was now for the most See also:part either confiscated or encumbered. He returned to England in 1649, after the king's See also:death, and was allowed to See also:compound for what remained of it.

During the See also:period of his prosperity Porter had gained a great reputation in the world of See also:art and letters. He wrote verses, was a generous See also:patron of See also:Davenant, who especially sings his praises, of See also:Dekker, Warmstrey, May, See also:Herrick and See also:Robert See also:Dover, and was included among the 84 " essentials " in See also:Bolton's " See also:Academy Royal." He was a judicious See also:collector of pictures, and as the friend of See also:Rubens, See also:Van Dyck, Mytens and other painters, and as agent for Charles in his purchases abroad he had a considerable See also:share in forming the king's magnificent collection. He was also instrumental in procuring the See also:Arundel pictures from Spain. The authorship of Eucaw srto-rr/, 1649, a vindication of the EMKWV /3aacXuKrl, has been attributed with some See also:reason to Porter.
