The Peninsular War series of posts continues with a look at the pivotal fortress city of Badajoz, besieged four times in the war and with two battles fought within eighteen miles of the place, as the French and Allies disputed control.
Warning, this is a long post, but the subject matter, covering the four sieges accompanied by the many accounts left by those who were there, insisted on a proper look at the events.
As compensation I hope, if you choose to explore the post, you may find plenty of content that captures the drama of the role the city played during the war.
