No

Well do I use that website to make that many YT videos I do make thanks for the heads up though.

My mum is the Duchess of Marlborough...Cigarettes lol.

the og Marlborough Man

Simon your killing my boredom haha May I say good day and you rule this day Sir

Yeah that is brilliant. It was Sidney smith who challenged him to a duel. Napoleon said he was not worthy and would only duel if the English could retrieve Marlborough from his grave. Ironically smith beat Napoelon, not at a duel, but at the siege of acre.

And then wellington became arguably better than malborough and won at battle fun times for him

I can't do anything without that!

Now that's leadership!!!😜👍

He should've done more research.. beans & beer make for very good pre-war dining. Jeffy & I battle at least once a week, while blaming the cat (even if he isn't in the room). Sadly, our cat is always in the middle of our battles.. poor Odin. I'm pretty certain he has considered murdering Jeff & myself while we slumber & flatulate.

Beer was safer to drink than water. One of the best things about Marlborough is that he made sure his men had what they needed.

duh

And a distant cousin of one Mr. Pall Mall

LOL'd ☝️

And yet his father is also a Winston

Y'all are Killin me with these puns

Everyone knows that

LMBO

😆😆😆

Yeah, Hollywood really likes to change your image up when you start filming. Even for commercials.

There is a connection, the cigarettes are named after the street in London where they were originally made. The street is named after this guy.

Well, his enemies accused that Blenheim was just Lucky Strike.

Same

He's Winston Churchill's (of WW2 renown) ancestor...

@@jamellfoster6029 Yeah I know, hence why it's strange that they used the name Winston at certain points

@@massimoe.nicolin6067 true

@@jamellfoster6029 I think he new that....

😂😂😂😂😂

Agreed. There is a dreadful refusal, too, to recognise both Charles I and Louis XIV as huge influences on Richie Blackmore.

@@Albert-Arthur-Wison225 😂😂👍🏻

I always thought Brian May wore that hairstyle as a tribute to Issac Newton; good lord, have I been getting it wrong all these years?!

@@shaitarn1869 🤣

The obvious question and comparison to Wellington then arises? Opinions?

@@robin_5099 Wellington has a similar record indeed. But for some reason is less respected by his enemies than Marlborough was. Maybe it's the cult of personality that surrounds Napoleon, and the fact that Napoleon, publicly at least, only ever derided Wellington. But that was Napoleon's way. Of course, Wellington had a slight advantage in that he inherited a British army that had become known for hard fighting professionalism despite its size. Marlborough invented the image of the red coated menace, it could be argued, as the Brits weren't considered a major continental land threat since the days of the hundred years war, until Marlborough came along. Personally I have nothing but love for them both as men and as generals.

Wellington was dismissed by Napoleon as a *sepoy general". He also messed up the night fight at Seringapatam, but was clearly in the same league as John Churchill.

@@alecblunden8615 I'm not sure how much he was responsible for the night attack failing considering that even today with all the modern technology we have night attacks are still tricky affairs especially over broken ground and under fire. He learned from the mistakes and was able to go onto the victory at Argaum. As for Napoleon calling him the "Sepoy General" This was the equivalent of the British calling Napoleon "Little Boney" it''s nothing but propaganda.

@@markgrehan3726 Night attacks have always been problematic, but Wellington commanded, so he was responsible.

Yeah, I've been asking for a while for one on her.

Agreed

Yes, Prince Eugene and then maybe also Maximilian II. Emanuel of Bavaria.

Seems like someone’s been playing kingdom come deliverance

@@Ck01560 lol

He's self proclaimed lazy

Pp

King Billy! Yeah I second that. Even though he was a powerful foe for the English, when he became king of England he did a lot of good for the UK too. So we celebrate him too. Unless you're Irish or Scottish, I suppose.

@@AtheAetheling This guy is talking about his great grandfather tho ;). William I, but William III was great too

Yes, I really want to see one on her.

One of them. Jan Zizka and Shapur I are maybe the most

There was a street named after the general and the cigarettes are named after the street. So essentially, Marlboro cigarettes are named after the Duke of Marlborough.

Thx, santa.

That would be interesting.

Bah dum cha.. can't forget the rim shot. That's what she said.

Ditto. I have no clue why I like it.

I went to school in Marlborough. Although my town is located in the Massachusetts commonwealth. *waves hello from across the pond*

I went to the same school as the Duke of Marlborough, i.e. St Paul's School. The military history society there was named the John Churchill Society.

British tactical phyrric win, French strategic win. But then Marlbrough beats that same marshal at the siege of bouchain. Marlborough’s siege record is as extraordinary as his battlefield masterpieces, his siege record was outstanding, he broke through some of the toughest fortifications in the world, built by genius engineers working for Louis XIV. It’s a shame about Malplaquet because it wasn’t even a defeat, but a very costly win and that was enough for Britain to “pull the plug” (so to speak) on Churchill commanding forces in battle. Compare this to France and the french marshals who got humiliated many a time but always came back. Marlborough suffers one set back and Britain doesn’t care to let him continue (on a large operation) Not many great generals aren’t allowed to continue after one set back. Think Napoleon or Fredrick the Great, it’s a shame marlrbough had so little room for error that, one phyrric win amongst a list of logistical masterpieces, tactical masterpieces and strategic siege warfare masterpieces, was enough to bring him down

Ahh Rachel... you stole my heart in "The Mummy " 😍😍😍😍😍

I like that film, but they make John look a bit useless, which isn’t fair, yes his wife was impressive but they didn’t need to show that by mocking him

Any relationship to the apricot? Blenheim apricots are the best.

@@christina1wilson look forward to finding one of those 🍊

Then do one about Morgan Freeman

I think Danny only writes for Business Blaze.

If you can't wait for a Biographics, then he's done Harold Shipman on his channel/podcast 'Casual Criminalist'.
