Blenheim Palace remains the Marlborough ducal seat.

The 7th Duke of Marlborough was the paternal grandfather of the British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill ( who was born at Blenheim Palace on 30 November 1874 ).

Branagh set the film with late 19th-century costuming and furnishings ; and Blenheim Palace, built in the early 18th century, became Elsinore Castle in the external scenes.

The story that she was poisoned by a jealous Eleanor is certainly untrue, and so is the tale that Henry constructed the hunting lodge at Woodstock for her and surrounded it with a garden that was a labyrinth (" Rosamund's Bower ," which was pulled down when Blenheim Palace was built nearby ).

* The relationship between Rosamund and Henry is a major framing device in Robin Paige's mystery novel, " Death at Blenheim Palace.

He then worked for a time with Sir John Vanbrugh, helping him build Blenheim Palace for John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, where he took charge from 1705, after Vanbrugh's final break with the demanding Duchess of Marlborough, and Castle Howard for Charles Howard, later the 3rd Earl of Carlisle.

At Blenheim Palace he designed the Woodstock Gate ( 1723 ) in the form of a Triumphal arch.

He was best known for Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard and was a prime exponent of the English Baroque style.

The pits are named after Sir John Vanbrugh, architect of Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard, who had a house nearby, adjacent to Greenwich Park, now called Vanbrugh Castle.

The town was renamed Woodstock in 1840 for Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, England.

Blenheim was followed in rapid succession by Ramillies And The Union With Scotland and by The Peace And The Protestant Succession, the three forming together a detailed picture of England under Queen Anne.

He was an owner of thoroughbred racing horses, including a record equalling five winners of the Epsom Derby ( Blenheim, Bahram, Mahmoud, My Love, Tulyar ) and a total of sixteen winners of British Classic Races.

The Battle of Blenheim ( referred to in some countries as the Second Battle of Höchstädt ), fought on 13 August 1704, was a major battle of the War of the Spanish Succession.

The French right rested on the village of Blenheim near where the Nebel flows into the Danube ; the village itself was surrounded by hedges, fences, enclosed gardens, and meadows.

The Allied commanders agreed that Marlborough would command 36, 000 troops and attack Tallard's force of 33, 000 on the left ( including capturing the village of Blenheim ), whilst Eugene, commanding 16, 000 men would attack the Elector and Marsin's combined forces of 23, 000 troops on the right wing ; if this attack was pressed hard the Elector and Marsin would have no troops to send to aid Tallard on their right.

The French commanders were, however, divided as to how to utilise the Nebel: Tallard's tactic – opposed by Marsin and the Elector who felt it better to close their infantry right up to the stream itself – was to lure the allies across before unleashing their cavalry upon them, causing panic and confusion ; whilst the enemy was struggling in the marshes, they would be caught in crossfire from Blenheim and Oberglauheim.

At 13: 00, Cutts was ordered to attack the village of Blenheim whilst Prince Eugene was requested to assault Lutzingen on the Allied right flank.

Whilst these events around Blenheim and Lutzingen were taking place, Marlborough was preparing to cross the Nebel.

" Palmes, however, attempted to follow up his success but was repulsed in some confusion by other French cavalry, and musketry fire from the edge of Blenheim.

As Tallard consulted with Marsin, more of his infantry was being taken into Blenheim by Clérambault.

By 16: 00, with the enemy troops besieged in Blenheim and Oberglau, the Allied centre of 81 squadrons ( nine squadrons had been transferred from Cutts ' column ), supported by 18 battalions was firmly planted amidst the French line of 64 squadrons and nine battalions of raw recruits.

The French infantry fought tenaciously to hold on to their position in Blenheim, but their commander was nowhere to be found.

By now Blenheim was under assault from every side by three English generals: Cutts, Churchill, and Orkney.

" Nevertheless, although the war dragged on for years, the Battle of Blenheim was probably its most decisive victory ; Marlborough and Eugene, working indivisibly together, had saved the Habsburg Empire and thereby preserved the Grand Alliance from collapse.

A large open plain, just over 1 mile (~ 2 km ) wide, lay between Taviers and Ramillies, but unlike Blenheim, there was no stream to hinder the cavalry.

Cavalry was important at Blenheim ( 1704 ), Rossbach ( 1757 ), Eylau and Friedland ( 1807 ), remaining significant throughout the Napoleonic Wars.

They inflicted a few resounding defeats to the French army ; the Battle of Blenheim in 1704 was the first major land battle lost by France since its victory at Rocroi in 1643.

Notable aircraft produced by the company include the ' Boxkite ', the Bristol Fighter, the Bulldog, the Blenheim, the Beaufighter, and the Britannia, and much of the preliminary work which led to the Concorde was carried out by the company.

Bristol's most important contribution to the expansion of the RAF at this time was the Blenheim light bomber.

The Beaufighter was derived from the Beaufort torpedo bomber, itself a derivative of the Blenheim.
