Campaign reports from Staremberg near Cervera and Viennese Plague
The Journal from General Staremberg's Camp at Cervera describes 28 battalions of infantry and 35 squadrons of cavalry occupying a favorable camp on Sept 18, while the enemy fields 46 battalions and 68 squadrons and eyes Tarragona. Updates cover movements, detachments, plunder, and forage shortages, plus Wetzel in Lampourdan, Atalaya’s voyage to Barcelona, and English naval actions. In Vienna, November 26, Plague hits Presburg and Brucke, with travel bans and evacuations, as court plans move to Prague Gratz and Linz, and an elder minister laments the era’s dire finances and uncertainty.
