WHO IS FIRST DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH?
John Churchill, First Duke of MarlboroughAshe House, Devon 26th of May 1650 – Windsor Lodge 16th of June 1722
He was an English soldier and political leader whose career spanned the reigns of five monarchs throughout 1667–1722, allegiance for England (1667–1707) and Great Britain (1707–1722).
His rise to prominence began as a ordinary page in the royal court of Stuart England, but his natural courage on the field of battle soon ensured quick promotion and recognition from his master and mentor James, Duke of York.
When James became king in 1685, Churchill played a major role in crushing the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion; but just three years later, Churchill abandoned his Catholic king for the Protestant William of Orange.
Along his life, he was involved in several badly wars for Monmouth Rebellion, Battle of Sedgemoor, Nine Years War, Battle of Walcourt, War of the Spanish Succession, Battle of Schellenberg, Battle of Blenheim, Battle of Elixheim, Battle of Ramillies, Battle of Oudenarde, Battle of Malplaquet.
