Which word links infrastructure, a Scottish castle and a national leader?

TheEdge hasn't declared open floor yet.
They actually went to Yasgur's Farm.

The battle of Blenheim did not take place until 1704. The palace was named after the battle in which the Duke of Marlborough distinguished himself.
me123: indeed, not built yet. CarltonA: you've given full "chapter and verse", though -- thanks.
(I carried on with the novel for a while after reading about C First and his Mrs. at Blenheim in 1625 -- thinking that just one crass error might be forgiveable -- but quite soon concluded for other reasons, that the book was rubbish, and abandoned it. Feel robbed by paying £2 for it at the charity shop...)
CarltonA, you have the floor.
Surely me123 was first with the correct answer. In fact CarltonA didn't mention that the palace wasn't built.
I'd stand by what I said -- IMO CarltonA's second sentence follows logically from his first, with implication that the palace obviously had not been built 80 years before the battle of Blenheim. me123's phrasing appears as though he was making something of a guess in the dark; if there'd been no answer after his, I'd have replied to his: "it wasn't; can you, here, give any further detail?"
I'm ready to be corrected, should I come to feel that would be appropriate. Can we refer it to quiz-magisterial authority for a decision? (DC, do you have such authority, or are you just offering your opinion?) me123, do you feel ill-used here?

Since 3 days have elapsed since the last post on this thread I invoke the rule laid out in post one, and seize the floor
Which car has appeared the most in film and television? (for full marks I'm looking for the make and model)
We would be talking worldwide.
I was afraid you were going to say that! I'm going to have a guess and say Ford Crown Victoria, since it's fairly ubiquitous in taxi or police car guise.
I had rather hoped that that question would go on a little longer, however according to my list you are correct.
With 2358 appearances the humble Crown Vic wins by a country mile. 361 more than the second place Ford Mustang.

You are 10-8 good sir.
I'll leave the floor open.
I didn't think this would be so difficult, here's a clue:
The films are based on a comic book character.
