| rdfs:comment | - The Duke of Wellington is a character in Blackadder the Third and Blackadder: Back & Forth, played by Stephen Fry.
- Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1 May 1769[1] – 14 September 1852), was a British soldier and statesman, purveyor of patented rubber boots (ideal for gardening and mixing cement), and is rightly remembered for his part in defeating Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. He lived long enough to embark on a political career and was given so many honours that he agreed to have his body broken up into bits to be deposited around the world when he died. New Zealand claims they got the head and that's why their capital city is named after the old general.

New Zealand claims they got the head and that's why their capital city is named after the old general. The Duke of Wellington was born in Ireland and is one of their top spies but is still yet another one of those obscenely wealthy Brits who owe their lavish lifestyle and grotesque wealth to a tenuous genetic link between them and the Queen. Nobody is sure exactly what he does, but he has been spotted playing polo, enjoying roast suckling pig, flogging the lower classes with bejewelled staffs, and is reportedly to have solid gold bicep implants. The current Duke, Arthur Something-or-Other has recently bemoaned his unpopularity with the British people and is recording a rap album in an attempt to garner some 'spect from the public. The most famous Duke of Wellington was Arthur Wellesley (which I now remember is also the name of our current Duke! How funny! Wonder if they're related...), who was instrumental in inspiring a number 1 chat hit for Abba in the 70s.
