Details
The Battle of Bailén was contested in 1808 between the Spanish Army of Andalusia, led by Generals Francisco Castaños and Theodor von Reding, and a corps of the Imperial French Army under General Pierre Dupont. The heaviest fighting took place near Bailén, a village by the Guadalquivir in the Jaén province of southern Spain. In June 1808 Napoleon ordered Dupont to force his way south through Andalusia to Cádiz, believing the general would "be able to overthrow everybody he meets." Finding the invasion of a vast, hostile countryside more than his small army could handle, however, Dupont withdrew from Córdoba in July, retracing his steps to the north of the province to await reinforcements. Meanwhile, General Castaños, commanding the Spanish field army at San Roque, travelled to Seville to meet the powerful Seville Junta, a patriotic assembly committed to resisting the French incursions and take command of its army.
