Thoroughly enjoyed that... Excellent...

Nelson reformed the Royal Navy and modernised it the benefits still being felt today.HMS Victory is the Royal Navy land-based flagship still on display today and the Musket ball that killed him on display in the Armoury at Windsor Castle.

This documentary is beyond outstanding. What an incredibly detailed mythic illustration of both awesome human courage & frailty! The epic conflicts that both Lords Nelson & then Wellesley led many brave souls against Michel de Nostradamus' first antichrist - "Paynayloron."

Calm down dear.

Exceptionally well done, narrated, and empathic documentary. I enjoyed it. It's very rare to listen to a history show without wincing at some grotesquery or inaccuracy. Thank you! Nelson would also have been very aware that his popularity abroad, would evoke automatic senior British disapproval. It's a British trait. Only when he's dead can he then be lauded as a hero. Otherwise who knows what a 'maverick' will do next? Regards.

Napoleon abandoned his plans to invade Britain after the naval engagement between British Vice-Admiral Robert Calder and French Admiral Villleneuve in the Battle of Cape Finisterre off the coast of NW Spain in July 1805. Calder was actually court-marshalled for not showing sufficient willingness to engage in battle. Villeneuve also showed little willingness to engage, he was afraid of a bit of fog. When he didn't link up with the rest of the French fleet in Brest, counter to his orders, Napoleon renamed his assembled invasion Armée d'Angleterre in Boulogne and decided to invade Russia. It was Calder that prevented the invasion of Britain.

Thank god for napoleon. Every nation was against him when he didn’t want France to be a monarchy. Every bully nation attacked France including Britain, Prussia, Russia, Austria etc etc. No wonder he has the Highest Battles WON tally in all history way way more than Wellington. And by the time Wellington met him at Waterloo, Napoleon was already a sick man. Plus he had deal the second enemy at that battle..the Prussians. A sick unwell man fighting two armies is very courageous of him. His legacy lives on France.

Because I understand how old TV creation and distribution of content worked and what an unreasonable ask it is to get someone who has merely bought the rights to redistribute content to also hunt down all the makers and participants of the documentary and get them to dig around for something that was made years, maybe even decades ago, just to give you a handy source list. And while I don't know the date this documentary was made, it looks to be at least 10+ years old, based just on the graphics. I do have a tip for you, as someone who also does want to know more than what these documentaries tell. Look for the published works of the people interviewed in documentaries. You can also contact the experts who were interviewed. Surprisingly often they are more than willing to give you access to their stuff, especially if it's to spite any gatekeepy scientific journal databases.

I'm immensely proud of what the RN achieved and a huge fan of Nelson, but I don't buy for one second that a French invasion would have been successful. The Peninsula Wars showed that British troops were, man for man, considerably better than their French counterparts and probably the best in the world. Had the French been suicidal enough to attempt an invasion, they would have been met by the same army, this time vigorously defending its home turf, with hundreds of thousands of militia on top of that.

Reading a very good book about Admiral Nelson ...(Nelson - Love & Fame - by Edgar Vincent).

TAKE LESSON ON WAHT A MAN.....WAS. Tough old cobb

How did Nèlson win at Trafalgar when it was Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood that cut across the bows of the French flagship with his ship, The Royal Sovreign, fired the first and last shots, before &, of course, after Nelson died....full facts please ...Collingwood hasn't even been afforded a statue on the spare plaque in Trafalgar Square, we would never have won but for him !

You seem a bit confused, it was Victory that broke the line behind the French flagship, Bucentaure. Not Collingwood, he took out the Spanish Flagship Santa Ana. Full Facts. Collingwood was aware that Nelson had been shot, but he did not know that he had died until the battle was over. The battle was fought to Nelson's plans, Collingwood did not give one order that altered the battle in any way, shape or form. One order he did give after the battle had finished was for the ships to head to Gibraltar, one of the last orders Nelson gave was "to anchor at end of day", so we had every ship of the Line, with missing masts, hundreds of crewmen either dead or wounded, and all of them exhausted, which they then had to give up fit crewmen to man the prizes, and instead of Anchoring, and trying to make repairs, he tells them to sail to Gibraltar. He did break the enemy line first, maybe because his ship was one of the fastest, having just had copper plates fitted to the hull. I'd love to know where you get, he fired the "last shots" from. Full facts please.

Read the Bible for answers.
