- История
Heave ho me'hearties, this week we are setting sail aboard the good ship Hamilton, as we take a look at one of history's most famous mistresses, Emma Hamilton. But does she deserve such a reductive title? Surely there is more to her than we think we know? Boy are you in for a treat! We careen from the Temple of Health and the Celestial Bed (remember that?!) to the glamorous streets of Naples, the top deck of a warship and a Queen's court, as we tell the bits of Emma Hamilton's story that you may not know. Sure, she did fall in love with Nelson, and of course that was never sealed with marriage. But she is so much more than that headline. Join us here to explore the fascinating history of Amy Lyons, better known as "That Hamilton Woman"
