Siege of Ciudad Rodrigo

Large Map (slow: 103K)

The Iberian Peninsula showing Spanish Provinces and major towns during the Peninsula War, 1807 to 1814. Taken from David Chandler's, Dictionary of the Napoleonic Wars, London, Greenhill Books, 1993, p 337. The more I research the Napoleonic Wars the more I refer to this book, it an essential guide to events, personalities and of course maps.
