Excerpt from Georgian England, 1714-1820 Under that brilliant general, the Duke Of Marl borough, whose wife, the Duchess Sarah, was a close and favourite friend Of the Queen, there were gamed splendid victories, handed down in the ringing names Of Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet, which were chiefly due to Marlborough's military Skill and the valour of English soldiers.
