  • Admiral of the Blue Lord George Churchill (20 February 1654 – 8 May 1710) was an English naval officer, who served as a Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty from 1699 to 1702 and sat on the Lord High Admirals Council from 1702 to 1708. He was Member of Parliament for St Albans from 1685 to 1708, then Portsmouth from 1708 until his death in 1710. Described by his sister-in-law Sarah Churchill as "a coarse fat man...with uncommon morals", his reputation has suffered in comparison with his brothers, the Duke of Marlborough and Charles Churchill. While considered by some an effective administrator, he made many enemies and achieved high office largely due to his friendship with Prince George of Denmark, husband of Queen Anne. He died in May 1710 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, next to his sister Arabella. He never married but left the bulk of his property to his illegitimate son, George Churchill (1687–1753). (en)

  • George Churchill, född 1654, död 1710, var en engelsk amiral, bror till John Churchill. Churchill utträdde ur aktiv sjötjänst 1693 och innehade sedan höga ämbeten vid amiralitetet, där han efter 1702 i sex år var lika enväldig som brodern vid armén (den av familjen behärskade prins Georg var som storamiral flottans nominelle chef). Churchill ansågs vara okunnig och högdragen; han hade fullständigt broderns inflytande att tacka för sin framskjutna ställning och påstods samla en stor förmögenhet genom att ta mutor av befordringssökande (något för tiden inte helt ovanligt). Vid prins Georgs död 1708 drog han sig tillbaka till privatlivet. (sv)
