1758 1785 1787 1831 Frances Horatio Married Nelson Originally


EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Frances Nelson, nee Woolward (1758-1831): A Remarkable Marriage in Naval History This evocative portrait captures Lady Frances Nelson, née Woolward, a woman of remarkable strength and resilience, who became the wife of the legendary British naval hero, Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805). The couple's meeting in 1785 marked the beginning of a passionate and unconventional relationship that would defy the social norms of their time. Lady Nelson was born into a respectable British family, but her life took an unexpected turn when she met the dashing and charismatic Horatio Nelson at a social event in Merton, Surrey. Despite the disapproval of her family and society, the two fell deeply in love and were married in secret in 1787. Their union was a source of scandal, as Nelson was already engaged to another woman, Fanny Nisbet, whom he eventually married in 1798, after Frances' death. The portrait, created in 1831, captures Lady Nelson's striking features and the intensity of her gaze. Her elegant attire, adorned with pearls and feathers, attests to her status as a woman of refinement and wealth. However, it is her inner strength and determination that truly set her apart. Lady Nelson accompanied her husband on several of his campaigns, including the Siege of Gibraltar and the Battle of the Nile, and was a source of support and comfort to him during his most trying times. Their marriage was filled with trials and tribulations, including separation, infidelity, and public scandal. Yet, Lady Nelson remained devoted to Nelson until his untimely death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Her unwavering loyalty and love for her husband earned her a place in naval history and a lasting legacy as a testament to the power of love and the indomitable spirit of the women who stood by their men in times of war.
