Thank you for sharing this. Horatia Nelson Ward had a good life. Her father’s family were ministers & she married one. Her father had yearned for children but his wife Fanny, who was a widow with a son Josiah Nisbet, when they married, refused. He guided his stepson to a Naval career. Horatia was kept secret from Lord Hamilton, who was I’ll & tired & just wanted to fish at Merton. Once he passed, she came more often. Horatia was taught by Emma & was smart. Nelson’s family helped Horatia after Emma’s long suicide.!

My heart goes out to Horatia Nelson. That poor girl and woman to have been surrounded by so many lies! No wonder she refused to believe that Emma Hamilton was her mother. She probably had built up a comforting scenario in her mind about her life that allowed her to cope with her tumultuous circumstances. I know people who have done likewise in order to make sense of the neglect and/or abuse that parents and other responsible adults subjected them to because the thought of those same parents and adults allowing or perpetrating the physical, emotional and psychological abuse on them was just too horrible to comprehend.

She never told her daughter that she was the real mother and the daughter, never, even in front of the later evidence, accept her as a mother. I guess that by then Emma had drinking and over spending problems, which made her a pariah in society. The death of the men she loved destroyed her and she became fragile But she was generous and a good person probably; she did recognize her first daughter, whom she had hidden for so long, and she was accepted by Nelson

A blacksmith´s orphan since two, poor & with no education, working as a servant since 12, attractive & attracting men´s lust as all pretty poor girls in days when sex with girls was legal since their 12 & all poor girl were game to abuse. In the era when executions/deportation to colonies were legal punishments since 12, even for pickpockets. Poverty was a horrible lot in her days, mostly killing people in their youth. Emma´s only chance to escape the misery - as well as to protect the children she would have one day from need & improve their future - was to become a kept woman.

The sound is bad. The music too loud on top of bad sound. You really should redo this. Why leave up something that will put off people from subscribing? It appears your research os good.. Why destroy that goodwill and enjoyment and research with really poor sound? I think Emma died hugely overweight and still with very strong northern accent? I think I read that the Nelson title went sideways to a brother, so it wouldn't die with Nelson - and I thought the eldest brother got a pension of some kind and that the family still received it? That it wasn't given to Emma, because she was seen as morally bankrupt. I can't remember where I read it, but I did feel outrage, as Nelson had tried to look after Emma. The sound was so poor, I am not sure if I heard correctly, but I think you say SEEKED at some point? You need to fix that. Past tense is SOUGHT. Seeked is not even an option in english, as far as I am aware.

I wonder if any DNA testing has been done on any descendants. Lady Emma got around as we know; she had several offers of marriage from other men after Lord Hamilton died and Admiral Nelson was away. Even though married, Admiral Nelson had no other direct descendants that are known so he could have been sterile as was said of Lord Hamilton. These days you know everyone would be screaming for DNA testing if this scenario happened today.

THIS WAS SO SAD. WHAT LED ME TO YOUR CHANNEL IS THAT I WAS WATCHING THAT HAMILTON LADY WITH LAURENCE OLIVIE AND vivian leigh. I wanted to watch it because THEY WERE MARRIED IN REAL LIFE AND I HAD NEVER SEEN IT SO AFTER I WATCHED IT YOUR VIDEOS POPPED UP AND I NEVER KNEW THESE WERE REAL PEOPLE BUT THOUGHT FROM WATCHING THE MOVIE THAT MAYBE ALL OF THIS REALLY HAPPENED. WHEN I WATCHED YOURS I THOUGHT WELL THE TRUTH IS THAT GOD PUNISHES FOR THINGS LIKE THIS BECAUSE GOD IS REAL AND WHEN YOU COMMIT ADULTERY WELL GOD WILL PUNISH YOU. I KNOW THE LORD VERY WELL AND I COMMITTED ADULTERY AT ONE TIME AND ASK GOD TO FORGIVE ME AND THEN HE HEALED MY LAND AS THE BIBLE SAYS MEANING HEALED MY FAMILY. HE SAVED MY KIDS AND MY FORGAVE ME AND NOW I HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. ITS EVERYTHING TO ME. WHEN I READ MY BIBLE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IM STILL SAD FOR WHAT I DID BUT I KNOW GOD HAS FORGIVEN ME AND I GAVE MY WHOLE LIFE TO JESUS SO WHEN I DIE I KNOW IM GOING TO HEAVEN. THE THING THAT SADDENED ME WHEN I WATCHED YOUR VIDEOS WAS THAT IM NOT SURE IF THEY ASK GOD TO FORGIVE THEM BEFORE THEY DIED. JESUS JUST WAITS FOR US TO ASK HIM TO FORGIVE US AND HE IS JUST TO FORGIVE. HE DOESNT WANT ANYONE TO PERISH AND GO TO HELL BUT ALL TO COME TO HIM SO THEY WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN. IF ANYONE READS THIS INCLUDING YOU AND YOU ARENT SAVED CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS AND BELIEVE THAT HE DIED ON THE CROSS AND SHED HIS BLOOD AND GOD ROSE HIM 3 DAYS LATER AND YOU WILL BE SAVED IF YOU SINCERELY PRAY THAT AND MEAN IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART. ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE YOU FOR YOUR SINS. ROMANS 10;9 10. ALSO THERE IS NO SIN WORTH GOING TO HELL OVER NOT EVEN FALLING MADLY IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE ONLY TO LOSE YOUR OWN SOUL BUT IF YOU HAVE SINCERELY ASK GOD RIGHT NOW TO FORGIVE YOU IN JESUS NAME AND GO AND SIN NO MORE AND JESUS WILL FORGIVE YOU. GODBLESS YOU. THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS VIDEO UP. I CAN TELL YOU WORKED REALLY HARD AND IM GLAD I FOUND IT. YOU KNOW YOU COULD DO EVEN MORE ON THE CLASSIC ACTORS LIVES IM SURE ON DETAILS OF THEIR LIVE AND IM SURE WE WOULD LOVE TO WATCH AGAIN. I LOVE CLASSIC ROMANCE MOVIES AND I LOVED WATCHING LAURENCE OLIVIE AND SO I LOOKED UP HIS INFO AND I HAD ALREADY WATCHED REBECCA WITH HIM IN IT SO I FOUND THIS ONE. I WAS ALWAYS A HOPELESS ROMANTIC SO I ENJOY THE CLASSICS. AGAIN GREAT WORK THIS WAS GREAT THAT YOU PUT THIS UP. THANKYOU VERY MUCH.

Enjoyed the video. Lots has been told about the battle of the Nile and particularly the battle of Trafalgar. I see you touched on the battle of Copenhagen. I have been reading about Captain Bligh recently, there is an interesting moment between Bligh and Nelson at the battle of Copenhagen that i didnt realise that i suspect not a lot of other people know about. It could be an idea for your next video. Bligh also sailed with Captain cook and helped to produce the charts to prepare for the invasion of Quebec and was present at the time of Cooks death. There could be a couple of interesting videos you could make when 3 of Britians greatest naval commanders crossed paths. Or also when Nelson crossed paths with Lord Wellington or Captain Cochrane two other military greats.

She was raised by a wet nurse and visited in secret by her parents, who had to lie about being her parents until both their respective deaths. Given that they were both celebrities, I'd say that she was kept from the world in that respect, but I guess it's a matter of semantics. It would be like Molly May and Tommy Fury pretending that baby wasn't theirs until Tommy died, when the rumours starting getting out
