Who was England's Greatest Prime Minister?
D L-G for sure.
People don't tend to recognize "Prime Ministers" before Walpole. Marlborough did more or less head the government for awhile though.Wasn't John Churchill (Battle of Blenheim, Spanish War of Sucession) a PM, or was he just a MP?

Lightspectra: I never realized he was charged with treason, but after a brief skimming if the Wikipedia article, it appears he was never actualy convicted on that. Afterwards he went to win the battle of Blenheim so that sort of equals out.
Then its not treason.
Betraying a man you swore your loyalty and trust to, for the purpose of nothing but political gain, is treachery, regardless of whether it's legal guilt.
It's never treasonous to betray a monarchy being the scum they are representatives of the archaic and decadent feudal system. Indeed it is right and just.
