Battle of Alcolea (1868)

Battle of Alcolea (1868)

The Battle of Alcolea occurred on 27 September, 1868.

Description

General Francisco Serrano y Domínguez's revolutionary army decisively defeated a loyalist force under Manuel Pavía, Marquis de Novaliches at the bridge of Alcolea in Andalusia.

The badly wounded and permanently disfigured Novaliches retreated and Francisco Serrano y Domínguez marched on Madrid. The revolutionaries' success at this battle forced Queen Isabella II into exile in France and allowed Serrano to enter the capital, form a Provisional Government, convoke the Cortes Constituyentes in February 1869, and be appointed successively president of the executive and regent.
