The mortar was one of several used by the French during the Siege of Cádiz between 1810 and1812. On the lifting of the siege, the Spanish gifted the mortar to the Prince Regent, who appointed the Earl of Mulgrave to facilitate its travel to Britain. The mortar later became the centre of satirical, and somewhat derisory, public sentiment towards the Prince Regent, culminating in a depiction of the monument by the contemporary caricaturist George Cruikshank.
