Arabella Churchill (royal mistress) - Arabella Churchill (February
23, 1648 - May 30, 1730) was the mistress of King James II of England and
VII of Scotland, and the mother of at least four of his children. She was
the child of Sir Winston Churchill (an ancestor of Sir Winston Churchill)
and Elizabeth Drake. An older sister of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough,
she began her relationship with James, then Duke of York, in about 1665, while
he was still married to Anne Hyde. Arabella became the duchess's lady-in-waiting
in that year, and gave birth to two children during Anne's lifetime. Their
affair continued after James's marriage to Mary of Modena in 1673, and produced
two more children.
