Details

The Battle of Talavera was a bloody yet inconclusive battle fought some 120 kilometers southwest of Madrid, Spain in the Peninsular War. At Talavera an Anglo-Portuguese army under Sir Arthur Wellesley combined with a Spanish army under General Cuesta in operations against French-occupied Madrid. The allies meant to isolate and attack Marshal Victor, but King Joseph Bonaparte reinforced the latter and blunted their offensive towards the capital. After fierce fighting the French army withdrew from the field, and for this narrow victory Wellesley was ennobled as "Viscount Wellington of Talavera and of Wellington". Nevertheless, the strategic advantage lay with the French; Talavera removed all threat to the capital and bought precious time for the arrival of French reinforcements to the theatre.
