Talk:George Goring, Lord Goring/@comment-86.27.230.201-20180116223344

Clarendon is untrustworthy as a critic of Gen Goring; he appears to have blackened his name at court and for personal reasons. According to Florene Memegalos from archive material in the Venice State records and other sources Georg Goring's reputation stood on his military abilities and not on Clarendon's all too obvious character assassination. Maybe too the fact that he fought for the King of Spain and what's worse from the point of view of a very prejudiced age he became a Catholic and worse he took up with the Jesuits in Madrid.
