Duke of Marlborough


 

The Dukedom of Marlborough (named after Marlborough, pronounced "Maulbruh" - {{IPA |/ˈmɔːlbɹə/}} in the IPA), is an hereditary title of British nobility in the Peerage of England. 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.
