About the battle
The First Battle of Sant Llorenç de la Muga (Catalan) or Spanish: San Lorenzo de la Muga) (19 May 1794) between a Spanish army commanded by the Luis Firmín de Carvajal, Conde de la Unión and a French army led by Jacques François Dugommier. Two weeks earlier, the French had driven the Spanish army from French territory in the Second Battle of Boulou. Pierre Augereau's division was separated from the main body of Dugommier's army and La Unión hoped to take advantage of its isolation. The Spanish mounted an overly complex attack on Sant Llorenç de la Muga that Augereau's French division repulsed.
