The Battle of Somosierra
This battle took place on the 4-5 August 1809. The French Army of the Centre was positioned on the southern side of the Somosierra pass. The French were attacked by the combined Spanish Armie of Estremadura and La Mancha.
Spanish troops occupy the town and some out-lying farms and then push on against the French left and centre.
The French right was refused by the Spanish. It took most of the 4th for the French to get into position to attack the Spanish left.
The battle was a victory for the French in the end but only just. The Spanish only retire about a day south and turned to face the French again.
