Compare the upbringing of both Wellington and Alexander.

Once again Keegan compares Wellington to Alexander the Great regarding the upbringing of the two men. Whereas Alexander had all of the privileges of being born a royal, Wellington did not. Wellington did attend Eton, but the celebrated school was no match for Aristotle's tutelage. As a result, Wellington neither blossomed as a student at Eton, nor at the French schools he attended.
