William Godolphin, Marquess of Blandford (c. 1699 – 24 August 1731),[1] styled as Viscount Rialton until 1722, was an English nobleman and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1720 and 1731.
Heir to the Dukedom of Marlborough and Earldom of Godolphin (and thus one of the largest fortunes in the country),[2] Godolphin was the eldest son of Francis Godolphin, 2nd Earl of Godolphin and his wife, the heiress, Lady Henrietta Churchill (later suo jure Duchess of Marlborough).[1] His grandparents were Sidney Godolphin, 1st Earl of Godolphin and John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, respectively.
