Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton Nelson, during this period, was actively discouraging his wife from joining him; he told her she would be sent back if she came, as the situation was unstable. Nelson was given a hero's welcome at most places on the journey back until the party arrived in London to a chilly reception from Lady Nelson and an equally unequivocal display of antipathy by Lord Nelson towards her. Nelson's death from a marksman's bullet during the decisive victory won by the English fleet on the Trafalgar shoals was a blow both to his men and his country. faculty.ed.umuc.edu /~jmatthew/naples/Lord_Nelson_and_Lady_Hamil.html   (2868 words)

THE LOGBOOKS OF THE LADY NELSON The Lady Nelson also went northward as well as southward, and though many of her logbooks are missing, some survive, and one describes how, in company with the Investigator under Captain Flinders, she examined the Queensland shore as far as the Cumberland Islands. From Jervis Bay the Lady Nelson continued her voyage southwards and, on the 19th of March, off Point Hicks, she met with a strange sail which proved to be the ship Britannia, Captain Turnbull, from England, bound for the whale fishery. When, however, the Lady Nelson sailed to the Hawkesbury in September to load the settlers' grain and to bring it to Sydney, Grant appears to have been still on board her, as he was enjoined to ensure her safety at that place by Governor King. www.gutenberg.org /dirs/7/5/0/7509/7509-h/7509-h.htm   (19977 words)

Lady Nelson Nelson lived with her husband at Burnham-Thorpe till February 1793, and during his first absence in the Mediterranean corresponded with him on most affectionate terms.

The Lady - Nelson - a complex hero   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) In life, Nelson went as far as embroidering his part in the grand strategy of the battle of Cape St Vincent for the popular press. “Remember Nelson!” The effect on the men was electrifying and he led his fleet to victory, although he was wounded in the battle.

Last check: 2007-10-31) Nelson, for example, carried on an extended affair with the wife of a powerful politician, and she even bore him a child. Nelson apparently always saw himself as someone destined to be very special and oftimes when he wrote or said something it seemed as though he did it with one eye (if you'll pardon the pun) on posterity. Nelson's career is given short shrift and it seems as though in a flash he has gone from being a boy at sea to admiral, with no explanation of how he got from one place to the other. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201408007?v=glance   (2292 words)

While Nelson's military exploits are all well-documented, and his infamous affair with Lady Emma Hamilton common knowledge, the author probes beneath the surface of the obvious, plumbing the depths of a man with an insatiable desire for admiration and attention. Nelson had a difficult relationships with his first wife Fanny, and Nelson dicarded her in favor of Emma Hamilton who displayed the same childish traits as the Admiral. www.amazon.com /Nelson-Love-Fame-Edgar-Vincent/dp/0300097972   (1939 words)

Although Nelson himself does not appear in the drawings, Emma Hamilton is frequently depicted, along with their daughter Horatia.
