'''Lord Randolph Henry Spencer Churchill''' (1849 - 1895) was the third son of the seventh Duke of Marlborough and the father of [[Winston Churchill]]. He had a brilliant but brief career in British Parliamentary politics in the 1880s. An aggressive and effective debater, he attempted through his program of "Tory Democracy" to garner popular support for his [[Conservative Party]]. He became [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]] in 1886, at the age of thirty-seven, but soon resigned following a party dispute. He died on 24 January 1895, seventy years to the day before the death of his son Winston.<ref>"Randolph Churchill" ''Churchill and the Great Republic'' The Library of Congress</ref>
