Who wrote the song that was inspired by the battle at fort mchenry and later became the national anthem?

The song was not inspired by the battle. The song was composed by John Stafford Smith, on commission, for the Anacreontic Society in London, some time before or at 1773. It was set to a poem titled "To Anacreon in Heaven," and was the official song of that men's club. Francis Scott Key saw the assault on the fort and wrote a poem at first called "The Defense of Fort McHenry" using the existing Anacreon melody. The title later became "The Star-Spangled Banner," and of course this pairing was adopted as the National Anthem in 1931.
