[25] CHARLES GODFREY, Esq., was brother-in-law to John Lord Churchill (afterwards Duke of Marlborough), having married Miss Arabella Churchill, mistress of King James II., and mother of James Duke of Berwick, one of the most successful and distinguished generals of his age, who rose to the rank of Marshal of France, and obtained a dukedom in Spain, and another in France. [26] A detailed account of this action is given in the Record of the 6th Dragoon Guards; and also in the Record of the Fifth Foot. [27] His Highness was afterwards reigning Duke of Brunswick. He married the Princess Augusta, sister to King George III.; and died of wounds received at the battle of Jena in 1808. LONDON: Printed by WILLIAM CLOWES and Sons, Stamford Street.
