Not that it’s possible to cover the history of Blenheim, I’m always hoping for something these ridiculous bits of nothing can’t deliver. I guess they’re meant to lure non-readers averse to real length historical documentaries into thinking they might like them if they put short ones out with a young nitwit who jumps around and puts cartoon bubbles next to animals and has the camera fixed on her for long intervals followed by 5 seconds actually showing the people who made this place famous. I’ve decided these nonentities are truly for people who want only to be entertained and not see something really special about a gorgeous palace, just a semi-attractive woman to entertain them. You can HAVE her.

Thanks, Alice. Great tour. The exterior court was also used by Sir. Kenneth Branaugh for his adaptation of Hamlet. When my family and I toured Blenheim Palace in 2018 we had a wonderful guided tour who pointed out the exquisite tapestries. IIRC he said those had no equal except perhaps those at Hampton Court. He also pointed out the front doors which weigh 1 or 2 tons each. Then he also mentioned the gifts John Churchill received from the King of Bohemia (I think) following the victory, in the form of many crates (yes, crates) of Meisen pottery and dishes. Some of the dinner plates were on display in a room of their own.

After all who needs that ridiculous house when all the fun stuff is outside (:>) I knew of course this place was the Churchill family 'home', but had never seen the whole place, I'm not sure which is the most pompous 'home' of the era, there are so many of them in UK & France etc...all in competition with each other, and with zero concern over what their wealth could achieve for their suffering serfs ! I feel quite honored to be among those who understand the issue & can laugh at it all !

From what I understand, the spaniels associated with the Stuarts found respite there in their exile from the public eye. John Churchill breed the dogs. The common coloration of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is called the Blenheim with when a special mark is seen at the forehead is called the Blenheim Star.
