Dodington, George

    0.04 sec.

Dodington, George (1691-1762)

English politician. He was constantly changing sides, serving in succession Robert Walpole, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Argyll, and the Prince again. He is remembered for his Diary, published in 1784, which reveals the intrigues of his time and his egotism.

He was created Baron Melcombe in 1761.

He was the son of Jeremias Bubb, an Irish apothecary, and took the name of Dodington on inheriting an estate from his uncle in 1720. He was elected to Parliament in 1715, and was member for Bridgwater 1722-54.
