Wellington achieved fame as a soldier fighting the Mahratta in India. His later generalship fighting the French in Spain was rewarded by a dukedom and a grant from the house of Commons worth ?8 million in today's terms. After his defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo he became a politician. Unhappily married, he had several mistresses.
