The first holder of the title was John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough (1650 - 1722), the noted English general, and indeed an unqualified reference to the Duke of Marlborough in a historical text will almost certainly be a reference to him.
Anne further honoured Churchill, after his leadership of the victories against the French of 13 August 1704 near the village of Blenheim (German Blindheim) on the Danube River (Battle of Blenheim), by granting him the royal manor of Woodstock, and building him a house at her own expense to be called Blenheim.
The Duke of Marlborough holds certain subsidiary titles: Marquess of Blandford (created 1702), Earl of Sunderland (1643), Earl of Marlborough (1689), Baron Spencer of Wormleighton (1603), Baron Churchill of Sandridge (1685) and Lord Churchill of Eyemouth (1682).

This tour-de-force was commissioned from the Grand Ducal Workshops by the 3rd Duke of Beaufort, probably during his visit to Florence in 1726.
Remarkably, it is the largest piece of furniture produced by the Grand Ducal Workshops in its entire history and probably its most splendid (the Duke's agent requested additional gilt-bronze)--little wonder then that the piece took years to complete (it was shipped in 1732) and would have involved around 30 different craftsmen.

He was a pupil of Edward Burch and briefly studied drawing at the St Martin’s Lane Academy (1766), but, inspired by the 3rd Duke of Richmond’s gallery of casts, he soon pursued an original line, concentrating on engraving in intaglio copies of ancient sculptures (see fig.).
He exhibited (1765–74) with the Society of Artists, of which he became a fellow and briefly a director; in the last two years he sent his submissions from Rome, where he had gone to study the monuments of antiquity in the original.
At first he worked for patrons at home, principally for George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough; for the Rev. Francis Henry Egerton, later 8th Earl of Bridgwater, he engraved Priam at the Feet of Achilles (sard, 1784; Belton House, Lincs, NT).
