Except that he was never referred to as an Admiral Lord.

Horatio Nelson was the 1st Viscount and the Duke of Bronte. His highest rank was Vice Admiral and he was known as Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson.

In fact, you can find all of his titles inscribed on his coffin. They read exactly like this:

'The Most Noble Lord Horation Nelson, Viscount and Baron Nelson, of the Nile and of Burnham Thorpe in the County of Norfolk, Baron Nelson of the Nile and of Hilborough in the said County, Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Vice Admiral of the White Squadron of the Fleet, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's Ships and Vessels in the Mediterranean, Duke of Bronté in the Kingdom of Sicily, Knight Grand Cross of the Sicilian Order of St Ferdinand and of Merit, Member of the Ottoman Order of the Crescent, Knight Grand Commander of the Order of St Joachim.'

Notice how 'Admiral Lord' is not listed there.
