Siege of Badajoz
1812-03-16–1812-04-06
Siege of Badajoz was an event within Wellington’s Offensive in Spain, and it matters because it helps mark the course of the campaign.Its wider importance lies in the event’s place in the war, rather than only in technical formations and units.
Georgette Heyer’s The Spanish Bride is especially relevant to Badajoz because its central relationship begins amid the aftermath of the storming, while C. S. Forester’s Rifleman Dodd supplies a complementary soldier’s perspective on the Peninsular War.
