Which admiral is commemorated by the column in Trafalgar Square, London?

Trafalgar Square, a famous landmark in London, was built to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. This naval battle was a crucial victory for the British against Napoleon's combined French and Spanish fleet. The towering column in the square is dedicated to Admiral Horatio Nelson, the commander of the British fleet during that battle. Nelson was a brilliant naval strategist and a national hero, even though he tragically died during the battle. His leadership ensured British naval supremacy for many years. While Christopher Wren was a famous architect who rebuilt London after the Great Fire, and Francis Drake was a renowned explorer and naval commander in the Elizabethan era, neither of them are directly associated with the Battle of Trafalgar or the square itself. Charles I was a king of England, but he has no connection to this naval battle or the monument. So, the column in Trafalgar Square specifically honors Admiral Nelson's contribution to British history.
