thumb|Ioannes Churchillus ante annum 1689.

**Ioannes Churchillus,** primus Dux Marlburiensis (natus in Devonia die 26 Maii 1650; mortuus in Berceria die 16 Iunii 1722), fuit supremus dux exercituum Anglicorum in bello de successione Hispanica, legatus Anglicus anno 1701 in Nederlandia creatus, atque vir publicus illustris.

Dux Marlburiensis quinque regibus servivit. Etiam "Corporal John" (Corporalis Ioannes)  a militibus suis appellatus est.

## Vita 
Ioannes Churchillus die 26 Maii 1650 natus est. Pater eius, qui inter bellum civile Anglicum strenue regem defendit, effecit ut familia Churchilliana tempore interregni Anglici graviter premeretur, donec, restituta monarchia, patrocinio Caroli II frueretur.

Ioannes Churchillus in Universitate Oxoniensi studebat atque fuit doctissimus mathematicae, philosophiae, linguis Latinae et Graecae. Anno 1678 Saram Jenyns (Jennings) in matrimonium duxit.

Stuartis restauratis, Ioannes Churchillus in secundo bello Angliae contra Nederlandiam militavit. Anno 1689 Gulielmum (tunc procuratorem rei publicae Bataviae) ad regnum Anglicum obtinendum adiuvit, quam ob rem rex novus eum aliquantum aegre ferebat. Tamen Churchillus, cum postea bellum de successione Hispanica ortum esset, egregium imperium exercitus obtinuit. Praecipua victoria eius fuit triumphus ad pugna Blindchaemis anno 1704, sed etiam apud Audenardam et Malplaquet res prosperas gessit.

Ioannes Churchillus mortuus est die 16 Iunii 1722.

## Persona 
Thomas Babingtonus Macaulay, historicus Anglicus, Churchillum tamquam instar monstri depinxit, eumque inimicum Angliae existimavit.
