	Battle of Trafalgar - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography

		Villeneuve was concerned at this point about forming up a line, as his ships were unevenly spaced and in an irregular formation.

	Villeneuve
		Pierre Charles Jean Baptiste Silvestre de Villeneuve was born into an aristocratic family at Valensoles in Provence in 1763.

		Villeneuve called a Council of War and showed his poor man management skills by insulting his Spanish allies claiming "it is not the barometer but certain person's courage that is falling" when objections against sailing were made due to bad weather conditions.

		I think Villeneuve and few others were quite competant actually but they failed to make the fleet act and fight as one.
