	Siege of Chaves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Siege of Chaves refers to the French siege of Chaves, Portugal in 1808 and the subsequent recapture of the town by Portuguese forces.
		The small French garrison tried to resist, but the Portuguese knew the town well and were able to penetrate the walls through an opening called the "Opening of the Butchershops." In the streets there was hand-to-hand combat, and the French, leaving almost three hundred dead, retreated into the São Francisco Fort.
		It, together with the defeat of pro-Royalist forces in 1912, gave Chaves the deserved title of the Heroic City of Chaves (Cidade Heroica de Chaves), the name of many streets and avenues in Portugal.
