Anyone who beats the French usually goes down well. In one battle, in one day, he literally saved England. And that's the reason he's atop a statue in Trafalgar Square. |
He was remarkably brave in battle, but he also wanted recognition for this, and was remarkably weak in his personal life. He'd face the French and Spanish fleet much easier than he would face his first wife. |
He won, but it wasn't going well. |
