<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Sir Edward Codrington''' ([[April 27]], [[1770]]- [[April 28]], [[1851]]) was a British admiral, hero of the Battle of Trafalgar and the [[Battle of Navarino]].<br />
<br />
==Early Life and Career==<br />
The youngest of three brothers, Codrington was educated by an uncle named Mr Bethell. He was sent for a short time to Harrow, and entered the Royal Navy in [[July]] [[1783]]. He served in the American Colonies, in the Mediterranean and at home, until he was promoted to lieutenant on the [[May 28]] of the same year. <br />
<br />
Lord Howe selected him to be signal lieutenant on the flagship of the Channel fleet at the beginning of the French Revolution. In that capacity he served on the 100-gun HMS Queen Charlotte during the operations which culminated in the Glorious First of June. On the [[October 7]] [[1794]] he was promoted to commander, and on the [[April 6]] [[1795]] attained the rank of Post-Captain and the command of the 22-gun ''Babet''. He continued to serve in the Channel, and was present at the action off L'Orient on the [[June 23]], [[1795]]. He next commanded the frigate ''Druid'' in the Channel and on the coast of Portugal, till she was paid off in [[1797]].<br />
<br />
Codrington remained largely on land and on half-pay for some years. In December [[1802]] he married Jane Hall, an English woman from Kingston, Jamaica.<br />
<br />
==Service in the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812==<br />
On the renewal of hostilities with France after the breach of the Peace of Amiens he was appointed ([[May]] [[1805]]) to the command of the 74-gun ship of the line ''Orion'' and was attached to the fleet off the coast of Spain. ''Orion'' played a major part in the Battle of Trafalgar on [[October 21]] 1805.<br />
<br />
For the next several years, Codrington fought alongside the Spanish against the French in the Mediterranean Sea. In [[1814]] he was promoted to the rank of rear admiral, at which time he was serving off the coast of North America as captain of the fleet to Vice Admiral Sir [[Alexander Cochrane]] during the operations against Washington, Baltimore and New Orleans during the War of 1812.<br />
<br />
In [[1815]] he was made a Knight Commander of the Bath and a vice admiral on the [[July 10]] [[1821]].<br />
<br />
==The Greek [[War of Independence]] and the [[Battle of Navarino]]==<br />
In [[December]] [[1826]] Codrington was appointed once again to the Mediterranean command, and sailed on the [[February 1]] [[1827]].<br />
<br />
From that date until his recall on the [[June 21]] [[1828]] he was engaged in the arduous duties imposed on him by the Greek [[War of Independence]], which had led to anarchy in [[Greece]] and surrounding areas. On [[October 20]] [[1827]], along with French admiral De Rigny and Russian admiral Van Der Heyden, he destroyed the Turkish and Egyptian naval forces at the [[Battle of Navarino]] while in command of a combined British, French and Russian fleet.<br />
<br />
After the battle Codrington went to Malta to refit his ships. He remained there till [[May]] [[1828]], when he sailed to join his French and Russian colleagues on the coast of the Morea. They endeavoured to enforce the evacuation of the peninsula by [[Ibrahim Pasha]] peacefully. The Pasha made diplomatic difficulties, and on the 25th of July the three admirals agreed that Codrington should go to Alexandria to obtain Ibrahims recall by his father Mehemet Ali.<br />
<br />
Codrington had heard on the 22nd of June of his own supersession, but, as his successor had not arrived, he carried out the arrangement made on the 25th of July, and his presence at Alexandria led to the treaty of the [[August 6]], [[1828]], by which the evacuation of the [[Morea]] was settled. His services were recognized by the grant of the Grand Cross of the Bath, but there is no doubt that he was treated as a scape-goat at least to some extent.<br />
<br />
==Later Years==<br />
After his return home Codrington spent some time in defending himself, and then in leisure abroad. He commanded a training squadron in the Channel in 1831 and became admiral on the 10th of January 1837. He was elected Member of Parliament for Devonport in [[1832]], and sat for that constituency until he accepted the Chiltern Hundreds in [[1839]]. From November 1839 to December 1842 he was commander-in-chief at Portsmouth.<br />
<br />
Codrington died on the [[April 28]], [[1851]]. He left two sons, both of whom achieved distinction in the British armed forces. Sir William John Codrington ([[1804]]-[[1884]]) was a commander in the Crimean War. Sir John Henry Codrington ([[1808]]-[[1877]]), a naval officer, became an Admiral of the Fleet.<br />
