Sir Robert Filmer (1588 – 26 May 1653) was an English political theorist who defended Divine rights absolute monarchy. His best known work, Patriarcha, published posthumously in 1680, was the target of John Locke in the first of his famous Two Treatises of Government, which announces that "The False Principles and Foundation of Sir Robert Filmer, And His Followers, are Detected and Overthrown."
he son of Sir Edward Filmer of East Sutton in Kent, he studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he matriculated in 1604.[1] Knighted by Charles I at the beginning of his reign, he was an ardent supporter of the king's cause, and his house is said to have been plundered by the parliamentarians ten times. He was imprisoned in Leeds Castle in 1643.
He and his father died in the same city, and he is buried in the church there, surrounded by his descendants to the tenth generation. His son, also Robert, was created the first of the Filmer Baronets in 1674.
