	Duke of Wellington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dukedom of Wellington, derived from Wellington in Somerset, is a hereditary title and the senior Dukedom in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

		The Viscountcy of Wellesley and the Barony and Earldom of Mornington are in the Peerage of Ireland; the rest are in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

	Arthur Wellesley, first Duke of Wellington (1769-1852)
		Wellesley had already furnished a ‘memorandum upon operations in the Mahratta territory’, and as soon as he learnt that Madras troops were to be used, he offered his services, pointing out that his pursuit of Dhoondiah had made him well acquainted with the country and people.
		Wellesley was appointed to the staff of the Kent district on 30 October, and a month afterwards he was given command of a brigade in the expedition to Hanover under Lord Cathcart.
		Wellesley concurred in the principle of it, thinking that, as the French had not been cut off from Lisbon, it was best to allow them to evacuate Portugal; and on 22 August he signed, by Dalrymple's desire, the armistice which was the prelude to it, though he disapproved of some details.

		Wellesley had negotiated and begged with the Bishop of Oporto, at that time the head of the remaining government and armed forces in Portugal, for men, but had received only 1,700 men, of whom 270 were badly needed cavalry.
		Wellesley’s aims were to surround and defeat Delaborde, preferably before he could join with Loison or any men sent from Lisbon, to prevent the French from showing an immediate united front against the British and allow the reinforcements sailing from Britain a safe beach-head to land at.
		In his dispatches, Wellesley says that the 29th ‘attacked with the utmost impetuosity’ and deserve the ‘highest commendation’, and the letter he wrote to Lake’s brother-in-law is full of nothing but praise, making no mention of any mistakes and leading many to believe that he ordered the attack himself.

	The Napoleonic Wars
		On 7 March 1809 he submitted a memorandum to Viscount Castleragh, the secretary of state for war, in which he argued that Portugal could be defended regardless of events in Spain, as long as adequate army under strong command was despatched to Lisbon to reinforce the 10,000 men left there by Moore five months earlier.
		Castlereagh was clearly convinced by this argument, and on 22 April Wellesley landed at Lisbon to command a force of 20,000 British troops.
		The battle which earned Wellesley his more familiar title of Viscount (later Duke of) Wellington, was won primarily by the discipline of the British infantry, who lay behind the crest of a ridge to escape French fire, then stood up, poured volleys into the enemy and charged with the bayonet.
