Marlborough won a series of victories over the French in the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714, known in America as Queen Anne’s War), and he and his wife, Sarah, had great influence over the queen in the early years of her reign.
Devoted to the Church of England, Anne was inclined to favor the pro-church Tory faction rather than its Whig opponents, but, influenced by the Marlboroughs and Lord Treasurer Sidney Godolphin, earl of Godolphin, she at first excluded the Tories from office.
