Sir Francis Godolphin KB MP (25 December 1605 – 22 March 1667), of Godolphin in Cornwall, was an English nobleman, landowner, politician, and Member of Parliament. His chief claim to fame is that he was the dedicatee of Hobbes' Leviathan.
Francis Godolphin, 2nd Earl of Godolphin, PC (3 September 1678 – 17 January 1766), styled Viscount Rialton from 1706 to 1712, was an English courtier and politician who sat in the English and British House of Commons between 1695 and 1712, when he succeeded to the peerage as Earl of Godolphin.
Biography. Godolphin was born in Westminster, probably because his father was in attendance at Court. Orphaned at the age of seven, he was brought up by his uncle, Sir Francis Godolphin*, who in 1626 introduced him to Parliament as a Member for Helston while he was still a minor.
Godolphin’s trajectory at court and in Parliament in the reign of Anne roughly followed that of his father, appointed lord treasurer by the new queen, and of his father-in-law, captain-general of the Allied forces.
