Battle of Tudela by January Suchodolski [Postcard]

The Battle of Tudela, fought on November 23rd 1808, saw the French forces under Marshal Jean Lannes decisively defeat the Spanish armies led by General Castanos and General Palafox. Spanish casualties were significant, with around 6,000 killed or wounded. While French losses were relatively minimal, with only about 700 casualties. The aftermath of the battle forced the Spanish armies to retreat in two directions, with one contingent moving towards Zaragoza and the other towards Madrid. This victory allowed Napoleon to advance rapidly, culminating in the French capture of Madrid in early December 1808.
