Battle of Mendigorría

Carlists supporting The Battle of Mendigorría Grand took place during the First Carlist War on July 16, 1835 south of Mendigorría, Navarre.

The Carlists were commanded by Vicente González Moreno, who assumed this post after the death of Zumalacárregui at the Siege of Bilbao.

When the Liberals attacked, the Carlists found themselves in a difficult strategic position: they had the Arga River behind them and only one way across, the Bridge of Larraga.

Don Carlos was able to escape thanks to the efforts of the defense of the Larraga bridge by the Carlist brigadier Bruno Villareal.
