This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: REIGN OF ANNE (STUART). 1702-1714. CHAPTER VI.?MARLBOROUGH'S TRIUMPHS. 1. Accession of Anne1: 1702.?William's death made no change in the foreign policy of Great Britain, William's place at the head of the Grand Alliance being taken by the Earl of Marlborough, whom Queen Anne appointed Captain-General of all her forces. Marlborough's influence with the Queen was unbounded. His wife had for years been Anne's bosom-friend. In their familiar intercourse ceremony and titles were laid aside: the Queen was " Mrs. Morley;" the Countess was " Mrs. Freeman." Anne, being a devoted friend of the Church of England, chose her ministers from the Tory party, and made Marlborough's friend, Lord Godolphin, First Lord of the Treasury and Prime Minister, and the Earl of Nottingham Secretary of State. 2.
