Today in 1835, poor old Marshal Mortier was killed along with 17 others when Fieschi used his Infernal Machine to try to assassinate Louis Philippe.
He was 67.
Wellington was a lifelong friend of Robert Stewart, Lord Castlereagh and served as a pallbearer at the latter's funeral.
It was outside Castlereagh's office that Wellington and Nelson had their single encounter with each other. #WellingtonWednesday
