Evelyn's Diary. 01 Dec 1702. After the excess of honor conferred by the Queen (age 37) on the [her father] Earl of Marlborough (age 52), by making him a Knight of the Garter and a Duke, for the success of but one campaign, that he should desire £5,000 a year to be settled on him by Parliament out of the Post Office, was thought a bold and unadvised request, as he had, besides his own considerable estate, above £30,000 a year in places and employments, with £50,000 at interest. He had married one [her sister] daughter (age 21) to the son (age 24) of my Lord Treasurer Godolphin (age 57), another (age 19) to the [her husband] Earl of Sunderland (age 27), and a [her sister] third (age 15) to the Earl of Bridgewater (age 21).
