An abortive attack by this commander left a contingent of men under Thomas Troubridge stranded at the La Consolacion convent. In a literary appearance, this historical figure orders the death of a woman who pronounces "Damn them all," Eleanora da Fonseca. He went against the will of Fabrizio Ruffo by ordering the execution of the leaders of the (*) Parthenopean Republic. This leader of a disastrous assault on Santa Cruz in Tenerife is referred to only as "the Hero" in a novel where he conducts an affair with the wife of "the Cavaliere." Susan Sontag's The Volcano Lover paints an unflattering depiction of this man, whose mistress Emma Hamilton was left destitute after he died at the Battle of Trafalgar. For 10 points, name this one-eyed, one-armed British admiral during the Napoleonic Wars.
