this small locket measuring just just 2.7 inches high, contains two locks of hair, one on each side, belonging to Lord Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton, comemerating the Battle of the Nile in 1798, within a month, Nelson and Lady Emma fell in love and began an affair that was to scandalise society because both were married, the locket has come from Australia to an auction house in Wiltshire where it is expected to be sold on January 27 for more than £5,000,
Nelson first met Lady Hamilton in 1793 then fatefully again in 1798, he was friendly with her husband and they created an odd menage à trois, after Nelson's heroic death at Trafalgar in 1805, Emma slipped into poverty and turned to drink, the couple's daughter Horatia had ten children, I wonder if the price mentioned will be broken?
