Spanish Patriots Defeat French Forces at St Payo Bridge
Reports from May and June describe Major-General Don Juan Carlos Areizaga and Brigadier Lobrogis leading Spanish troops in repeated defenses against Suchet and his forces. The Spanish repelled attacks, secured key crossings, and captured plunder while British and marine garrisons held Castri. Casualties ran higher on the French side, with substantial Spanish losses as well. The combat centered on river crossings and the bridge at St Payo, with gunboats and artillery supporting the defense.
