Pair of stirrups owned by Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey, 1815 (c)

In 1812 Paget became the 2nd Earl of Uxbridge and at the Battle of Waterloo (1815), he commanded the British cavalry and horse artillery in Wellington's army. He lost his leg when it was shattered by a piece of shot which narrowly missed Wellington.

These stirrups were most likely made for Paget during his service after Waterloo, as the design of one stirrup appears to have been made to accommodate his artificial leg. He was created Marquess of Anglesey for his services at Waterloo and became field marshal in 1846. He died in 1854.
