His most famous victory was against the French leader, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, which was also the inspiration for the ABBA Eurovision Song Contest winning song.
Following this victory (Wellington's not ABBA's) he moved into Apsley House, also known as No.1 London. His house is now The Wellington Museum.
