Some age wear and traces of former mounting to the admittance card, G, 2 Copenhagen was of mixed Thoroughbred and Arabian parentage and was foaled in 1808 and named in honour of the British victory at the Second Battle of Copenhagen during the Napoleonic Wars. Copenhagen was sent to Spain in 1813 with Sir Charles Vane and subsequently sold to the Duke of Wellington who became his third and final owner. The Duke's favourite horse, Copenhagen served as Wellington's mount during the Battle of Waterloo, carrying him continuously for some seventeen hours during the battle. Copenhagen continued to be Wellington's primary horse during the occupation of France before being retired to Stratfield Saye House where he died at the age of 28 years. Wellington gave his mount a burial with full military honours and reportedly 'flew into a most violent passion' when he noticed that one of Copenhagen's hooves had been cut off as a souvenir. The pilfered hoof was eventually recovered and later made into an ink stand by the second Duke of Wellington.

Port Royal, lying at the mouth of Kingston Harbour in southeastern Jamaica was a former Spanish colony until captured by the English in 1655 and served as the unofficial capital of Jamaica until destroyed in an earthquake in 1692. Before the earthquake it was a base for privateers and pirates, used by governors of Jamaica to defend the port, among them Henry Morgan and later Blackbeard (Edward Teach or Thatch) who used the port to attack Spanish shipping and became a notorious hotbed of drunken debauchery and prostitution. After Henry Morgan was appointed was Lieutenant Governor in 1674, anti-piracy laws were enacted and Gallows Point in Port Royal became the place of execution of many pirates, including Calico Jack and Charles Vane. The Royal Navy expanded the port into a naval base from 1735, adding dockyards, wharves, and a naval hospital.
