Well that Frenchman who shot him surely made a name for himself

[jessedellross]

His greatness, and the hard work of the British navy, led to dominance over the seas for 100 years. Think about that.

Britain has always been a naval superpower but to dominate for a century? That’s impressive

"Wow, this story is so fascinating! If you enjoy ancient legends like this, you might also love the tale of Kiumars, the first king of Earth in Persian mythology. Just shared it on my channel!"

[petertaylor]

Nelson was most likely killed by a ricochet and not by a direct shot from a French sniper as suggested here. Not that this changes his astonishing legacy.
