  Duke of Marlborough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Duke was also honored with a Imperial titles: Emperor Joseph I created him a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire in 1704, and in 1705, he was created Imperial Prince of Mindelheim (once the lordship of the noted soldier Georg von Frundsberg).
Because the first duke had no sons, the title was allowed (by a special Act of Parliament) to pass to his eldest daughter in her own right.
However, George Spencer, the 5th Duke of Marlborough, obtained a Royal Licence to assume and bear the additional surname and arms of his famous ancestor, the 1st Duke of Marlborough, and thus became George Spencer-Churchill.

In 1692, suspecting that Lord Marlborough was a Jacobite (that is, one who believed that James II was the legitimate monarch), Mary II dismissed him from all his offices.
Lady Marlborough was subsequently removed from the Royal Household, leading Princess Anne to angrily leave her royal residence for Syon House, the Marlboroughs' home.
Henceforth Anne signs herself in her letters to Lady Marlborough as "your poor unfortunate" as well as "faithful Morley." In default of her own issue, Anne's personal choice would probably have inclined at this time to her father or to a member of his family, which was then at St Germains.

To help in the re-building of the City, Berkshire stone was shipped down-stream to the Capital in barges which on their return carried rubble to be dumped on many of the islands in the Thames, thus providing Monkey Island with a solid foundation for building whilst raising the level to eliminate serious flooding.
In about 1723 the island was purchased by Charles Spencer, the 3rd Duke of Marlborough.
The Duke obviously enjoyed angling: it was he that erected the first two buildings on the island described as a fishing lodge and fishing temple.
