Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769 - 1852) was an
Anglo-Irish soldier and statesman, widely considered one of the leading
figures of the 19th century. He came from an established family of
noblemen - his father was Earl of Mornington and his brother was later
created Marquess Wellesley. Commissioned an ensign in the British
Army, he would rise to prominence in the Napoleonic Wars, eventually
reaching the rank of field marshal.
Wellington commanded the Allied forces during the Peninsular War,
pushing the French Army out of Spain and reaching southern France.
Victorious and hailed as a hero in England, he was obligated to return
to Europe to command the Anglo-Allied forces at Waterloo, after
which Napoleon Bonaparte was permanently exiled at St. Helena.
Wellington is often compared to John Churchill, 1st Duke of
Marlborough, with whom he shared many characteristics, chiefly a
transition to politics after a highly successful military career. He would
serve as a member of both the Tories and the Whigs as Prime Minister
of Great Britain on two separate occasions, and was one of the leading
figures in the House of Lords until his retirement in 1846.
