Churchill, Lord Randolph Henry Spencer 1849-95
English politician
Born in Blenheim Palace, he was the third son of the 7th Duke of Marlborough. He entered parliament in 1874 and became conspicuous in 1880 as the leader of a group of Conservatives known as the Fourth Party. He was Secretary for India (1885-86), and for a short while Chancellor of the Exchequer and Leader of the House of Commons. His powers rapidly diminished by syphilis, he resigned after his first budget proved unacceptable, and thereafter devoted little time to politics. He was the father of Winston Churchill.
