Moors Besieged. Bashaw Forces Repel Siege After 26 Years
The narrative describes a hard siege where Moorish defenses held firm in a labyrinthine wood fortress. Casualties include about 50 killed and 150 wounded on our side, with three captains and two lieutenants among the dead. The Bashaw’s defenses, aided by a loyal renegade commander, resisted four assaults before victory. News of triumph led to Te Deum and bells rung in royal presence.
