About the battle
The Battle of Mendigorría 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 the post after the death of Tomás de Zumalacárregui at the Siege of Bilbao. The Carlist pretender, Don Carlos, was also at Mendigorría.
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 Larraga Bridge.
The Liberal left flank was led by Baldomero Espartero, the central flank by Luis Fernández de Córdova.
