That's a bit like saying Admiral Nimitz defeated Emperor Hirohito at the Battle of the Coral Sea, Nelson defeated Admiral Villeneuve at Trafalger.
 


Wow, what an incredible moment in history! The Battle of Trafalgar was a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars and Admiral Lord Nelson's victory was a significant blow to Napoleon's plans for European domination. It's amazing to think about the bravery and skill of the sailors involved in this battle, and the strategic genius of Nelson in leading his fleet to victory.

Historian seeks recognition for first English king https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9d07w50e15o Somewhere I have a list of Anglo-Saxon, Wessex and English kings. Well there is nothing new there. Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
