Magna Carta Unlocked - Part Five

Part five looks at the Battle of Waterloo. The battle of Waterloo (the last engagement of Napolean's so-called Hundred Days) was fought on Sunday June 18, 1815, just south of Brussels in modern Belgium. It began late in the morning, as the French Emperor waited for the ground to dry after the soaking rain of previous days, but once battle was joined it raged until evening.
