Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke Of Wellington

Arthur Wellesley was a prominent political and military leader in Britain during the 19th century. He was a soldier and even served as the Prime Minister two times. One major thing he is remembered for is defeating Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, which made him a national hero.

He has written books about his experiences, most notably “The Dispatches of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, K.G. During His Various Campaigns in India, Denmark, Portugal, Spain, the Low Countries, and France: From 1799 to 1818.” Historians consider him one of the finest British military tacticians, and Wellesley became the Duke of Wellington in 1814.
