• Notes

  3rd Earl of Sunderland; First Lord of the Treasury 1718-21 (last pre-Prime Minister), Never as deft a wheeler-dealer as his father, the Third Earl inherited a love of collecting, though his passion was books, not pictures. By the time of his sudden death in 1722, he had built up an incomparable library, although financial pressure at one stage forced him to mortgage it to the Duke of Marlborough in return for a loan. Ironically, much of the collection eventually ended up at Blenheim. Because the Great Duke had no male heir, the Third Earl’s wife was by special dispensation made a co-heiress with her elder sister Henrietta. Her son, the Fourth Earl of Sunderland died in 1729, without having married, and so her second son Charles became the Fifth Earl. When Henrietta who since become Duchess of Marlborough died without issue, the Fifth Earl became the Third Duke of Marlborough.
