 Duke of Marlborough   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The first holder of the title was John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough (1650 - 1722), the noted English/British general, and indeed an unqualified reference to the Duke of Marlborough in a historical text will almost certainly be a reference to this man.
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.
