In 1785, Lady Mornington went to Brussells to live as a way to economise. She took Arthur with him and sent him to Royal Academy of Equitation at Angers in Anjou after she returned to Britain in 1786. She was granted a pension of £600 in 1813 by the Parliament after Arthur's success in the Peninsular Wars <ref>Muir, R. (2015). Wellington: Waterloo and the fortunes of peace, 1814-1852.
