thread_title:  Pierre Charles Silvestre de Villeneuve 

message: It is odd someone made so many mistakes however being a career officer with distinguished service. And that the British released him and were interested in allowing him safe return to France seems suspicious. Denial from British sources of him being an agent of theirs, will never surface as it would demerit the Victory over France's fleet as a sold out deal less heroic, hunting a game prize roped or stringed by its master. The murder of Villeneuve, would have served well Napoleon's interests too as a tragic figure of cowardice but also to cover such shameful admission of military weakness having staff passing to the service of the enemy. The need of trial not needed as Napoleon agents in England must have already caught on evidence against the Admiral in his game truncating the plans of French invasion. England was full of his old aristocratic peers dissidents against Napoleon's Imperial establishment.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.242.252 (talk) 21:30, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

message: The British sent Villeneuve to England on the Euryalus but released him on parole; during this time he lived in Bishop's Waltham in Hampshire. He stayed at the Crown Inn public house and his men, who numbered 200, stayed in local houses. He was allowed to attend the funeral of Lord Nelson at Bishop's Waltham.
I was under the impression Lord Nelson's funeral was at St. Paul's. Claverhouse (talk) 01:52, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It was - and it was in  1806, after this article claims Villeneuve returned to France. I've restored the word "whilst" to the sentence about him attending, which makes the sentence make more sense. I think I've read elsewhere that V did not in fact return to France until early 1806, which would have given him the time to go, but we need some more sourcing for that section.

message: You mean " Propaganda " ... right ??? 
Or your claim the  British press of the time  is " Propaganda "
Original phrase 
""The nature of his death ensured that this verdict was much mocked in the British press of the time and suspicions abounded that Napoleon had secretly ordered Villeneuve's murder .  "
I recomand to replace " British press " by anti-French propaganda or Wartime propaganda .
The first one is more historically accurate as the British press remained anti-french even  at peace .
