Nelson was almost continuously on active service in the Mediterranean between 1793 and 1800; he lingered at Naples for a year, during which he helped to crush a democratic uprising, and where he fell completely under the influence of Lady Hamilton.
He was promoted to vice admiral in 1801, and sent to the Baltic to operate against the Danes, nominally as second in command; in fact, it was Nelson who was responsible for the victory of Copenhagen and for negotiating peace with Denmark.
When in 1805 his opponent, the French admiral Pierre de Villeneuve (1763–1806), eluded him, Nelson pursued him to the West Indies and back, and on 21 October defeated the combined French and Spanish fleets off Cape Trafalgar, capturing 20 of the enemy ships; Nelson himself was mortally wounded in the battle.

Most military historians believe Nelson's ability to inspire officers of the highest rank and seamen of the lowest was central to his many victories, as was his unequaled ability to both strategically plan his campaigns and tactically shift his forces in the midst of battle.
However, the 1801 Barony of Nelson ("of the Nile and of Hilborough in the County of Norfolk") passed by a special remainder to Lord Nelson's brother, The Revd William Nelson.
Nelson's final words (as related by Victory's Surgeon William Beatty, based on the accounts of those who were with Nelson when he died) were "Thank God I have done my duty".

One day years after losing his right eye (at Calvi in 1794), Admiral Horatio Nelson tried to obtain veteran's compensation but was told that nothing could be done without a surgeon's certificate.
