 Royalist attack on Chaves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chaves was convinced that Couceiro would attack Montalegre and head south towards Cabeceiras de Basto.

The rebels had found new courage and thought victory was in sight, when in the afternoon the regular forces finally arrived in Chaves and set up their artillery, on a hill called Alto da Forca, south of the town, from which they could fire at will on the rebel forces.
