Who killed an American military hero during the war which historians in Britain see as a minor theater of the Napoleonic Wars?
Thomas Biddle Thomas Biddle (November 21, 1790 – August 29, 1831) was an American military hero, during the War of 1812. Biddle is better known though for having been killed in a duel with Missouri Congressman Spencer Pettis.
John Stockham Captain John Stockham (24 July 1765 – 6 February 1814) was an officer in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, whose career is now obscured to the point that very little of his life is known up until 1805, when he was suddenly and unexpectedly called upon to command the ship of the line HMS "Thunderer" at the Battle of Trafalgar.
