Horatio Nelson

 Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount

Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté KB (29 September

1758 – 21 October 1805) was a British flag

officer in the Royal Navy. He was noted for his

inspirational leadership, superb grasp of

strategy, and unconventional tactics, all of

which resulted in a number of decisive naval

victories, particularly during the Napoleonic

Wars. He was wounded several times in combat,

losing most of one arm in the unsuccessful

attempt to conquer Santa Cruz de Tenerife and

the sight in one eye in Corsica. He was shot and

killed during his final victory at the Battle of

Trafalgar in 1805.
