The Battle of Manresa and Battle of Vilafranca from 21 March to 5 April 1810 saw a Spanish division led by Juan Caro and Luis González Torres de Navarra, Marquess of Campoverde attack an Imperial French brigade commanded by François Xavier de Schwarz.
Caro's division first surprised the town of Vilafranca del Penedès in March and captured its 800-man garrison made up of troops from the Confederation of the Rhine.
The Spanish troops remained at large and fell upon the town of Manresa at the beginning of April.
After several days of sparring they drove Schwarz and his German soldiers out of the town with heavy losses.
This minor disaster caused Marshal Pierre Augereau to call off Imperial troops which were threatening Tarragona.
