Acceding to the duchy at the age of thirteen after his father had been assassinated, he was expected to carry on his father's leadership against the Burgundians, a French faction which supported the Duke of Burgundy. The latter was never punished for his role in Louis' assassination, and Charles had to watch as his grief- stricken mother Valentina Visconti succumbed to illness not long afterwards. At her deathbed, Charles and the other boys of the family were made to swear the traditional oath of vengeance for their father's murder. During the early years of his reign as duke, the orphaned Charles was heavily influenced by the guidance of his father- in- law, Bernard VII, Count of Armagnac, for which reason Charles' faction came to be known as the Armagnacs.

He was discovered unwounded but trapped under a pile of corpses, incapacitated by the weight of his own armour.[2] He was taken prisoner by the English, and spent the next twenty- four years being moved from one castle to another in England, including Pontefract Castle – the castle where England's young King Richard II, Cousin once removed of the then incumbent English King Henry V, had been imprisoned and died 1. The conditions of his confinement were not strict; he was allowed to live more or less in the manner to which he had become accustomed, like so many other captured nobles. However, he was not offered release in exchange for a ransom, since the English King Henry V had left instructions forbidding any release: Charles was the natural head of the Armagnac faction and in the line of succession to the French throne, and was therefore deemed too important to be returned to circulation.
After his capture, his entire library was moved by Yolande of Aragon to Saumur, to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. It was during these twenty- four years that Charles would write most of his poetry, including melancholy works which seem to be commenting on the captivity itself, such as En la forêt de longue attente.[4]The majority of his output consists of two books, one in French and the other in English, in the ballade and rondeau fixed forms. Though once controversial, it is now abundantly clear that Charles wrote the English poems which he left behind when he was released in 1.
Charles of Orléans (24 November 1394 – 5 January 1465) was Duke of Orléans from 1407, following the murder of his father, Louis I, Duke of Orléans, on the orders.

Unfortunately, his acceptance in the English canon has been slow. A. E. B. Coldiron has argued that the problem relates to his "approach to the erotic, his use of puns, wordplay, and rhetorical devices, his formal complexity and experimentation, his stance or voice: all these place him well outside the fifteenth- century literary milieu in which he found himself in England."[6]One of his poems Is she not passing fair?, translated by Louisa Stuart Costello, was set to music by Edward Elgar.

May 1. 65. 0 – 1. June 1. 72. 2 O. S.[a]) was an English soldier and statesman whose career spanned the reigns of five monarchs. Rising from a lowly page at the court of the House of Stuart, he served James, Duke of York, through the 1. Churchill's role in defeating the Monmouth Rebellion in 1.
James on the throne, yet just three years later he abandoned his Catholic patron for the Protestant Dutchman, William of Orange. Honoured for his services at William's coronation with the earldom of Marlborough, he served with further distinction in the early years of the Nine Years' War, but persistent charges of Jacobitism brought about his fall from office and temporary imprisonment in the Tower. It was not until the accession of Queen Anne in 1. Marlborough reached the zenith of his powers and secured his fame and fortune.
His marriage to the hot- tempered Sarah Jennings – Anne's intimate friend – ensured Marlborough's rise, first to the Captain- Generalcy of British forces, then to a dukedom. Becoming de facto leader of Allied forces during the War of the Spanish Succession, his victories on the fields of Blenheim (1. Ramillies (1. 70. Oudenarde (1. 70.

Incurring Anne's disfavour, and caught between Tory and Whig factions, Marlborough, who had brought glory and success to Anne's reign, was forced from office and went into self- imposed exile.
He returned to England and to influence under the House of Hanover with the accession of George I to the British throne in 1. Marlborough's insatiable ambition made him the richest of all Anne's subjects. His family connections wove him into the fabric of European politics (his sister Arabella became James II's mistress, and their son, the Duke of Berwick, emerged as one of Louis XIV's greatest Marshals). His leadership of the allied armies consolidated Britain's emergence as a front- rank power. He successfully maintained unity among the allies, thereby demonstrating his diplomatic skills. Throughout ten consecutive campaigns during the Spanish Succession war, Marlborough held together a discordant coalition through his sheer force of personality and raised the standing of British arms to a level not known since the Middle Ages. Although in the end he could not compel total capitulation from his enemies, his victories allowed Britain to rise from a minor to a major power, ensuring the country's growing prosperity throughout the 1.

Although Winston had paid off the fine by 1. From this episode may derive the Churchill family motto: Fiel Pero Desdichado ("Faithful but Unfortunate").[6]Siblings[edit]Winston Churchill and his wife Elizabeth Drake had at least nine children, only five of whom survived infancy.[7] The eldest daughter, Arabella Churchill, was born on 2.

Childhood[edit]Little is known of John Churchill's childhood about which he left no written description, but growing up in these impoverished conditions at Ashe, with family tensions soured by conflicting allegiances, may have made a lasting impression on the young Churchill.
His descendant and biographer the Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, asserted that the conditions at Ashe "might well have aroused in his mind two prevailing impressions: first a hatred of poverty .. Youth and education[edit]After the Restoration of King Charles II in 1.
In 1. 66. 1, Winston became Member of Parliament for Weymouth, and as a mark of royal favour he received rewards for losses incurred fighting against the Parliamentarians during the civil war, including the appointment as a Commissioner for Irish Land Claims in Dublin in 1. When Winston departed for Ireland the following year, John enrolled at the Dublin Free School; but by 1.
Junior Clerk Comptroller of the King's Household at Whitehall, John had transferred his studies to St Paul's School in London. The King's own penury meant the old Cavaliers received scant financial reward, but the prodigal monarch could offer something which would cost him nothing – positions at court for their progeny.
Thus in 1. 66. 5, John's sister Arabella became Maid of Honour to Anne Hyde, the Duchess of York. Some months later John, 1. Anne's husband, James, Duke of York, the King's brother, destined to be king himself.[1. It was also known that John Churchill, a keen student, was educated in the University of Oxford,[1.

James, Duke of York by Peter Lely, 1. James, later King James II, was Marlborough's early patron. The Duke of York's passion for all things naval and military rubbed off on young Churchill. Often accompanying the Duke inspecting the troops in the royal parks, it was not long before the boy had set his heart on becoming a soldier himself.[2. On 1. 4 September 1.
O. S.), he obtained a commission as Ensign in the King's Own Company in the 1st Guards, later to become the Grenadier Guards.[2. Many of Marlborough's hagiographers, following Lediard's panegyric, credit him with service in the North African outpost of Tangier, recently acquired as part of the dowry of Charles II's Portuguese wife, Catherine of Braganza.
That is unlikely, and even Sir Winston S. Churchill says "There is, indeed, no contemporary evidence of his ever having been there". However, Churchill then assumes that he had been there, on the strange basis that Marlborough said that he had, at some time, been to Spain, and he supposedly would have considered the somewhat notorious and decidedly new Stuart possession of Tangier to be "Spain". The known facts are that he was commissioned Ensign in September 1. On 2. 1 February 1.
