British and allied armies to
important victories over Louis XIV of France, notably at Blenheim 1706 and
Oudenaarde 1708.Military career. John Churchill was the son of Sir Winston Churchill,
member of Parliament, who possessed only a moderate property but was sufficiently influential at
the court of Charles II to be able to provide for his sons there and in the armed forces. John,
the eldest, advanced rapidly both at court and in the army but, marrying
for love, remained throughout his life dependent upon his career in the
public service for financial support. Churchill received a commission in
the foot guards in 1667 and served at Tangier from about 1668 to 1670.
In the third Dutch War 1672-1674, he served with the allied fleet that
was defeated at Solebay on May 28, 1672, and was promoted captain. He
went with the English troops sent in December 1672 to assist
Louis XIV against the Dutch and distinguished himself at Maastricht with the Duke
of Monmouth. He was appointed colonel of the English regiment by Louis
XIV in 1674 and served with distinction at Enzheim.
