Yes, I noticed that, too, about the Cathedrals, and then I focused on the Wellington business, because I have read several accounts of the Battle of Waterloo—and of the earlier Peninsular Campaign—and there’s not much doubt that Wellington was the guy responsible for those victories.

Actually, though Wellington was clearly the most important figure on the Allied side against France, he and Napoleon had fought to a standstill, and Blucher tipped the balance. Of course, he should have been there earlier....
