[9][note 1] Later that month, Castaños dismissed Pignatelli for having retreated from Logroño before Ney's troops and abandoning all his guns at the foot of the mountains around Nalda.
[9] His troops were redistributed among the divisions of Grimarest, La Peña, and Llamas,[8] and a brigade of six battalions under Cartaojal,[8] which was then sent back and managed to recover the abandoned guns.
[9] In December, the Junta Suprema ordered Marquis de La Romana to dismiss Pignatelli from the post of captain general of Old Castile and to court-martial him for the "scandalous and cowardly abandonment of Valladolid and Avila".
[6] By the end of January Pignatelli, still captain general of Old Castile,[6] had raised a new regiment, the Volunteers of Avila, which he sent to supplement the under-manned garrison at Ciudad Rodrigo.
[10] In November, the Regency absolved Pignatelli, by then no longer governor of Zamora,[6] of having abandoned Valladolid and Avila to their fate before the enemy.
