	MARLBOROUGH, SARAH CHURCHILL, DUCHESS OF. The Columbia Encyclopedia: Sixth Edition. 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Born Sarah Jennings, she was a childhood friend of Princess Anne.
		Until then Sarah had wielded considerable influence at court, but gradually Abigail Masham, a kinswoman both of Sarah herself and of the Tory leader Robert Harley, replaced her in Anne’s affections.
		After the death (1722) of the duke of Marlborough, the duchess supervised completion of the building of Blenheim Palace, quarreling bitterly with its architect, Sir John Vanbrugh, and with most of her relatives.

		Sarah Churchill, née Jennings, Duchess of Marlborough (May 29, 1660 – October 18, 1744), rose to be one of the most influential women in British history, largely as a result of her close friendship with Queen Anne.

	Anne
		Her closest friend, and perhaps her most influential advisor, was Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, though there was a falling out later when the Duchess of Marlborough was banned from court during the War of the Spanish Succession.
		Sarah Churchill became Anne's lady of the bedchamber, and, by the latter's desire to mark their mutual intimacy and affection, all deference due to her rank was abandoned and the two ladies called each other Mrs.
		Churchill abandoned the king on the 24th, Prince George on the 25th, and when James returned to London on the 26th he found that Anne and her lady-in-waiting had during the previous night followed their husbands' examples.

		With her family ruined by war, penniless thirteen-year-old Sarah Jennings is overjoyed to be chosen as a maid of honor at the bawdy Restoration court of Charles II.

		Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, had a genius for self-dramatisation.
		Its ending, with Sarah flmailing Anne and accusing her of perverting the nation's affairs through her lesbian favourites, is compelling.
		The account of Sarah's political influence through her husband and their friend Sidney Godolphin is a fine example of feminist historical writing: shrewd, full of insight, and quietly mature.

		She was soon on bad terms with them, however, partly because they objected to her favorite, Sarah Jennings (later Sarah Churchill, duchess of Marlborough), who was to exercise great influence in Anne’s private and public life.
		Thus it was at least partly through the pressure of the Marlboroughs that Anne was induced, despite her Tory sympathies, to oust Tory ministers in favor of Whigs.
		The Marlboroughs were even able to force the dismissal of Robert Harley in 1708, though the scolding duchess had already lost much of her power to Anne’s new favorite, the quiet Abigail Masham, kinswoman and friend of Harley.

	Anne of Great Britain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 Duke of Northumberland's 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 Germain.

		Churchill was a great lover of tradition, and he would write several books of biography and history which eventually won him the Nobel Prize for Literature.
		In fact, the Tories were quite critical of John Churchill as an opportunist who knew when to switch sides in time (like his predecessor, General George Monk in 1660, or the future French statesman, Charles Talleyrand).
		He was also exceptionally gifted at feathering his nest (Sarah got him a lot of money through her contacts with Anne, and he was willing to take "gifts" from various European allies).
