Note 296 — SECTION XXV: CHAPTER II

This narrative of the fall of Tortosa is mainly derived from the sources given by Arteche, especially Yriarte’s narrative, and from Schepeler and Vacani. These in some details differ from Suchet’s story repeated by Belmas, though there is no fundamental discrepancy. But it is clear that Alacha was even more to blame than the French versions would give us to understand.
