Thomas Porter (dramatist)
Thomas Porter (1636 – 1680) was an English dramatist and duellist.
==Life==
He was the fourth son of Endymion Porter, and brother of George Porter.
Porter abducted, on 24 February 1655, Anne Blount, daughter of Mountjoy Blount, 1st Earl of Newport. For this he was for a short time imprisoned, and the contract of marriage was declared null and void by the quarter sessions of Middlesex on 17 July following. A valid marriage subsequently took place, and they had a son George. On 26 March of the same year, Porter killed a soldier named Thomas Salkeld in Covent Garden, probably in a duel, and was consequently tried for murder. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter, was allowed benefit of clergy, and was sentenced to be burned in the hand.
On 28 July 1667, Porter had a duel with his friend, Sir Henry Bellasis, documented by Samuel Pepys, who remarked on the "silliness of the quarrel". Bellasis was mortally wounded, and Porter, who was also hurt, had to leave the country. Porter subsequently married Roberta Anne Colepeper, daughter of Sir Thomas Colepeper.
