Biography
Ludowick Porter was Angela Porter's brother, and uncle of Endymion Porter. Giles Porter, father of Ludovic (Lewis, Luis) Porter, went to Spain in the 1560s and there married Dona Juana Figueroa y Mont Salve. Giles Porter returned to Mickleton, Gloucestershire, in 1585 with his two daughter, but Luis Porter y Figueroa remained in Spain, entering the Spanish diplomatic service. A letter to Edmund Porter, from Luis Porter, dated 3 January 1611, was signed Porter de Figueroa. (Life and Letters of Endymion Porter says this letter was addressed to Luis Porter's brother-in-law, but this appears to be a mistake. . . ??)
Ludowick Porter was almost certainly named in honour of Ludowick Greville, father of Sir Edward Greville.
