Who rewarded Churchill with the title Earl of Marlborough?

  • Queen Anne

  • James II

  • William III

  • William II

Answer

The title of Earl of Marlborough was bestowed upon John Churchill by Queen Anne in 1702, not by William III. She granted him this prestigious honor in recognition of his exceptional military victories during the War of the Spanish Succession. Churchill's strategic prowess and leadership on battlefields, particularly his triumph at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704, solidified his reputation as a brilliant commander and earned him the Queen's favor.
