Notes:
"Then once General Espartero was placed at the head of the Hussar marksmen, his escort and headquarters, he ordered a fresh charge against those who were trying to charge against them and in this way the action was a hand-to-hand combat [...] in which the constitutional forces were more fortunate. The Carlist cavalry was defeated [...] until they withdrew to [...] their entrenchments
