Sir George Nayler (1764 - 1831), Officer of Arms im Londoner College of Arms, begann als Miniaturmaler, wurde 1792 Genealogist des Order of the Bath, 1793 Bluemantle Pursuivant im College of Arms und 1794 York Herald. 1813 wurde er zum Ritter geschlagen, 1820 zum Calarenceux King of Arms ernannt; er verstarb rund zwei Monate nach seiner Anwesenheit bei der Krönung von William IV.
Horatio Nelson, 1. Viscount Nelson (1758 - 1805), der wohl bedeutendste Admiral der Royal Navy. Im März 1802 befand sich der Vice Admiral of the Blue (sechsthöchster Rang der Royal Navy) aufgrund des im Oktober 1801 ausgehandelten Waffenstillstands zwischen Frankreich und dem United Kingdom zu Hause, doch bereits 1803, nach der Aufkündigung des Friedens von Amiens wurde er Vice Admiral of the White und übernahm das Kommando über die britische Mittelmeerflotte. Am 21. Oktober 1805 verstarb er, getroffen von einer französischen Kugel, nicht aber ohne zuvor noch von seinem überwältigenden Sieg in der Schlacht von Trafalgar zu erfahren, in der die zahlenmäßig überlegene französische und spanische Flotte vernichtend geschlagen wurden.
Wunderschönes Dokument in hervorragender Erhaltung.

Sir George Nayler (1764 - 1831), Officer of Arms at the London College of Arms, began his career as a miniature painter. Appointed Genealogist of the Order of the Bath in 1792, Bluemantle Pursuivant of the College of Arms in 1793 and York Herald in 1794. He was knighted in 1813, made Clarenceux King of Arms in 1820; he died roughly two months after attending the coronation of William IV.
Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson (1758 - 1805), was probably the best known Admiral of the Royal Navy. In March 1802, the Vice-Admiral of the Blue (sixth highest rank of the Royal Navy) was at home on account of the armistice negotiated between France and the United Kingdom in October 1801. However, in 1803, after the end of the Treaty of Amiens, he was promoted to Vice-Admiral of the White and took command of the British Mediterranean Fleet. Struck by a French musket ball, he died on 21 October 1805, but not without first learning of his overwhelming victory in the battle of Trafalgar, in which the French and Spanish fleets, both superior in number, were defeated.
