As it is my birthday today I thought I'd look on wikipedia to see what went on today in history and only really came up with this battle in 1719. An interesting episode in a little known war that involved an invading Spanish army. Unfortunately the main Spanish invasion fleet that would have landed in the South west was cancelled - which is a shame as it would have been great for reenacting... picture by Peter Tillemans.
