In the Battle of Trafalgar, a little after one o'clock Horatio Nelson was fatally shot through the shoulder, and he famously said to Hardy that "Hardy, I do believe they have done it at last... my backbone is shot through." Of course his body was taken back and the entire country went into mourning over his death.
But, WI Nelson had not been fatally shot? What if he had lived to see the Battle of Trafalgar through and come home alive as a Hero?
Personally I can see him going on to fight many more Battles against the French and Spanish and winning them, maybe even some battles that had been won by the British, but due to him being there had been won more decisively than in OTL due to Nelsons courage in the face of the enemy. I then think he's go onto retire a great hero, but,as the Duke of Wellington had to, be forced to come out of retirement and to possibly be put as a candidate for PM, winning it, but maybe not being that good and so having his image slightly ruined by this political career.
