Felipe Carlos Osorio y Castellví

Felipe Carlos Osorio y Castelví, 6th conde de Cervellón[1] (1762–1815) was a Spanish noble and military commander.

Promoted to lieutenant general in 1795, he was appointed interim captain-general of Valencia in December 1807.

[1] At the start of the war, the Junta Provincial gave him the command of the Army of Valencia.

However, his failure to detain Marshal Moncey's advance towards Valencia,[1] led to that city being attacked in late June 1808.

That, together with his inability to follow up on the Spanish victory by confronting the retreating French troops, which had suffered greatly during the battle, having lost at least 1,200 men, a sixth of Moncey's infantry,[2] led to the Junta relieving him of his command, which was given to González Llamas.
