Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. L’Orient exploding at the Nile. Not a peerage portrait.

Overview

The barony is already on the Battle of the Nile 1798 — Overview. After that victory Nelson Horatio — Biography Overview became Baron Nelson of the Nile on 6 November 1798.¹

The Honour

This note covers that 1798 barony only. A patent date, remainder, and later titles stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE. The 1797 Knight of the Bath stays on Knight of the Bath — Nelson 1797. The 1801 viscountcy stays on Viscount Nelson of the Nile — 1801.

The same Nile note already records that he travelled to Naples and that the Hamilton Emma — Biography episode began there. Those sentences stay there. Do not treat 6 November 1798 as a patent date the filled note does not name as a patent.²
