L to r: Christopher Hyland and the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, Blenheim Palace, now
a World Heritage Site, would become, through a series
of American marriages, arguably the most aristocratic
American, certainly Anglo-American, house in the world.
These American connections significantly contributed
to financing and nurturing the leadership necessary to
combat diabolical global political forces engulfing the
world during most of that century.
These Blenheim transatlantic unions and others similar
to them���made famous in novels, movies and now a
television series, Downton Abbey���often superficial in initial
intent, culminated in creating an extensive bond between
the leadership of Great Britain and America. Along with
