50. You are in error, erronis. Nelson died on board his flagship during the naval battle of Trafalgar.

All the battles referenced in your post were naval actions on the high seas, not amphibious invasions of troops of the kind Napoleon was planning if his fleet defeated the English during the battle of Trafalgar.

Please don't confuse the Spanish Armada during Queen Elizabeth's reign with the Battle of Trafalgar against a combined French and Spanish fleet that intended to prepare the way for a military invasion of England. I suggest you read up on both battles in Wikipedia and learn a little about English history.
