 Battle of Vitoria : Napoleonic Wars : Peninsular War : King Joseph : Wellesley : Jourdan
Vitoria was the battle that broke the back of the French occupation of Spain and led to common Allied soldiers becoming wealthy men overnight, as they looted a baggage train containing some 5.5 million francs worth of treasure.
In the lead up to Vitoria, the Duke of Wellington split his army of some 70,000 men in two and sent the majority of them (40,000 under General Graham) on a series of hook marches that would force the French to continually look at their defensive flanks.
At Vitoria, the sides collided and a series of French errors - most crucially not guarding a key bridge at Tres Puentes - allowed Wellington to cross the major Zadorra River with several divisions.

 Bambooweb: Battle of Vitoria
The Battle of Vitoria was fought on June 21 1813 during the Peninsular War, between 75,000 British, Portuguese and Spanish troops, with 90 guns, under The Duke of Wellington, and 58,000 French with 153 guns under King Joseph Bonaparte and Marshal Jourdan.
In July 1812, after the Battle of Salamanca, the French had evacuated Madrid, which Wellington's army entered on August 12, 1812.
Deploying three divisions to guard the capital's southern approaches, he then marched north with the rest of his army to lay siege to the fortress of Burgos, 140 miles away, but he had underrated the enemy's strength and on October 21 he had to abandon the siege and retreat.
