This is such a harsh read on Lowe, the last governor of St Helena during Napoleon’s exile: “Wellington was even harsher, calling Lowe ‘a very bad choice; he was a man wanting in education and judgment. He was a stupid man, he knew nothing at all of the world, and like all men who knew nothing of the world, he was suspicious and jealous.’” From Napoleon: A Life, by Andrew Roberts
