Upon his return to england, he celebrated by going on a long tour of the countryside with his mistress, emma hamilton and her husband, sir william hamilton. High society was scandalized. Nelson's own father called the arrangement evil and begged his son to walk away. Edmund nelson died in 18 o two without reconciling with horatio. He could not forgive his son for abandoning his wife.
