Description
In October 1810 the Allied position in Portugal appeared precarious.
Despite defeating Marshal Mass na's French army at Bussaco, Wellington had been forced to retreat to within a few miles of Lisbon.
Here the French encountered a massive line of fortifications stretching from the River Tagus to the sea.
Built amid great secrecy and on Wellington's specific orders, these Lines of Torres Vedras were the French high-water mark.
In February, with his army on the point of starvation, Mass na was forced to retreat and the scene was set for the climactic action of Fuentes de O oro.
