==Biography==
Godolphin was the second son of Sir William Godolphin (died 1613) of Godolphin, Cornwall, by his wife, Thomasin, and was baptised on 15 January 1610. He was admitted a commoner of Exeter College, Oxford, 25 June 1624, aged 18,〔('Alumni Oxonienses, 1500–1714: Gilpin-Greenhaugh', Alumni Oxonienses 1500–1714: Abannan-Kyte (1891) ), pp. 569–599. Date accessed: 24 February 2011〕 remained there for three years, and afterwards entered one of the inns of court, and travelled abroad. He was elected Member of Parliament MP for Helston in 1628 and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.
Godolphin was elected again as MP for Helston to the Short Parliament in March 1640, and to the Long Parliament in October 1640.〔 He was known as an adherent of Strafford, and was one of the last royalist members to leave the house. When the civil war broke out, he made a final speech of warning, and left to raise a force in Cornwall. Despite his diminutive stature he, refusing an officer's commission and choosing to serve as a trooper, joined the cavalry of the army commanded by Sir Ralph Hopton, which crossed the Tamar and advanced into Devon.〔() History of Parliament Online article.〕 Their declaration signed by Godolphin is in ''‘Lismore Papers’''. Godolphin, whose advice, according to Clarendon, was highly valued by the commanders in spite of his lack of military experience, was shot in a skirmish at Chagford.
Godolphin was buried in the chancel of Okehampton Church on 10 February 1643.〔 His will, dated 23 June 1642, containing a bequest of £200 to Thomas Hobbes. He gave some plate to Exeter College, Oxford.
