History: of coin
Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington
, (1 May 1769 – 14 September 1852)
was an Anglo-Irish soldier and Tory statesman who was one of the leading military and political
figures of 19th-century Britain, serving twice as prime minister of the United Kingdom.
He is among the commanders who won and ended the Napoleonic Wars when the coalition defeated
Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
Wellesley was born in Dublin into the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland.
He was commissioned as an ensign in the British Army in 1787, serving in Ireland as aide-de-camp to
two successive lords lieutenant of Ireland. He was also elected as a member of Parliament in the Irish
House of Commons. He was a colonel by 1796 and saw action in the Netherlands and in India, where he
fought in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War at the Battle of Seringapatam.
He was appointed governor of Seringapatam and Mysore in 1799 and, as a newly appointed major-general,
won a decisive victory over the Maratha Confederacy at the Battle of Assaye in 1803.
Wellesley rose to prominence as a general during the Peninsular campaign of the Napoleonic Wars,
and was promoted to the rank of field marshal after leading the allied forces to victory against the
French Empire at the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. Following Napoleon's exile in 1814, he served as the
ambassador to France and was granted a dukedom.
During the Hundred Days in 1815, he commanded the allied army which, together with a Prussian Army
under Field Marshal Gebhard von Blücher, defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. Wellington's battle record is
exemplary; he ultimately participated in some 60 battles during the course of his military career.
Wellington is famous for his adaptive defensive style of warfare, resulting in several victories against
numerically superior forces while minimising his own losses. He is regarded as one of the greatest defensive
commanders of all time, and many of his tactics and battle plans are still studied in military academies
around the world.
After the end of his active military career, he returned to politics. He was twice British prime minister as a
member of the Tory party from 1828 to 1830 and for a little less than a month in 1834. He oversaw the
passage of the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, but opposed the Reform Act 1832. He continued as one of
the leading figures in the House of Lords until his retirement and remained Commander-in-Chief of the
British Army until his death.
