On 21st July, Cathy Shelbourne presented our last Zoom talk, which was titled “A Pillar of Society? Nelson and his loves”. Cathy outlined Lord Nelson’s life, from his birth in Norfolk in 1758 to his death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. In a very interesting talk she revealed the extent of his world travel in his career in The Royal Navy, his popularity among his crews and the British people generally and the vicious (pre Social Media) lampooning of his love life, particularly involving his wife, Fanny Nisbet, one of his lovers, Lady Emma Hamilton, and her husband Sir William Hamilton – all living together in a very modern ‘menage a trois’.
