John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough, absolutely crushed the forces of the French at the Battle of Blenheim. His account is one of negligent smugness. It is a true veni, vidi, vici moment in history. A soldier of good family but little status, Churchill would rise to become one of the most famous soldiers in British history, spawning a dynasty that would lead to Winston Churchill's greatness two hundred years later.
