  current battle

In theBattle of Cervera (4 to 14 October 1811) aSpanish force led byLuis Roberto de Lacy attacked a series ofImperial French garrisons belonging to theVII Corps ofMarshalJacques MacDonald. The actions were highly successful and netted nearly 1,000 enemy prisoners. The clashes occurred during thePeninsular War, part of theNapoleonic Wars. The largest garrison was located atCervera which is located about 55 kilometres (34 mi) east ofLleida, inCatalonia,Spain.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

After the Army of Catalonia was nearly destroyed in thesieges of Tarragona andFigueres during July and August 1811, Lacy replacedLuis González Torres de Navarra, Marquess of Campoverde asCaptain General. MarshalLouis Gabriel Suchet struck another blow against the Catalans when his troops seized themiquelet base in theBattle of Montserrat on 25 July 1811. The unpopular but vigorous Lacy quickly reorganized the 8,000-man remnant of his army into three small divisions under GeneralsBaron de Eroles,Pedro Sarsfield, andFrancisco Milans del Bosch. With the Royal Navy's assistance, Lacy seized theMedes Islands at the mouth of theTer River on 12 September.[1][2]

Battle

[edit]

On 4 October 1811, Lacy's forces captured 200 Imperial troops atIgualada on the highway betweenBarcelona andLleida. Continuing west, the Spanish column seized a French convoy near Cervera on the 7th. Lacy overwhelmed the garrison of Cervera on 11 October, bagging another 645 prisoners. Finally, on the 14th the Spaniards took 150 more captives atBellpuig. After these defeats, the French evacuated the monastery ofSanta Maria de Montserrat onMontserrat Mountain.[2]
