  Sidney Godolphin, 1st Earl of Godolphin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Godolphin was not only a Tory by inheritance, but was thought to have a romantic admiration for the wife of James II.
The influence of the Marlboroughs with the queen was, however, gradually supplanted by that of Abigail Masham and Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, and with the fortunes of the Marlboroughs those of Godolphin were indissolubly united.
Godolphin owed his rise to power and his continuance in it under four sovereigns to his financial wizardry; he received support from Marlborough mainly because Marlborough recognised that for the continuance of England's foreign wars his financial abilities were an indispensable necessity.

For instance, unsuccessful attempts to form ministries, such as that of William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath in 1746, or the summons of the sovereign to ministers who refused to form a ministry are often ignored.
Individuals such as Sidney Godolphin, 1st Earl of Godolphin and Robert Harley were recognised as the leaders of their respective ministries, but they cannot be considered Prime Ministers in the modern sense, given that they exercised little control over their colleagues.
Similarly, the Cabinets of Anne's successor, George I, were led by individuals such as Charles Townshend, 2nd Viscount Townshend, James Stanhope, 1st Earl Stanhope, and Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland, but these individuals were not truly Prime Ministers, as we now understand the office.
