Thank you.<br />"My" blog belongs to association Miquelets de Catalunya and is started two weeks ago. It is very poor at this moment, as my english, in fact. The blog presents in catalan, but you can use the Google tranlater in the side bar.<br />URL: http://altacorn.blogspot.com<br /><br />XavierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980135127858355520.post-32092534573920802592010-03-08T12:48:36.345-08:002010-03-08T12:48:36.345-08:00Xavier,

You can always click on the title of my post, which brings it up as a separate page URL, then copy and paste this link into the Links section of your blog. By the way, what is the name of your blog? I would very much like to follow it if it offers more sources on the Spanish of this era.<br /><br />BillSir William the Agedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503300059802446520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980135127858355520.post-71913883026725807252010-03-07T12:06:46.479-08:002010-03-07T12:06:46.479-08:00Can you activate the trackback, please?

If you will see my revised post on the Old ...Dave,<br /><br />If you will see my revised post on the Old Purples, re: the Regiment Castilla, and follow the link it will take you to a Google translation of the "History of the Spanish Infantry". I warn you now, you will have to go through about 3 layers of "pop-ups" to get to the actual unit history, but you can do this for each of the Spanish Infantry regiments on the 1707 list by clicking on the regiment's "new" name (the "old" name is also shown for reference).<br /><br />Once you get to the individual unit's history, near the bottom of the page is a list, by historical period, of the unit's major actions. In the case of the Morados Viejos, or Regiment de Castilla, we find the following for the period :<br /><br />"War with France" (1674-1694); Victoria Petrus, action Espolla, Camprodón, site Rosas, Ter battle and surrender of Gerona.<br /> <br />"War in Africa" (1695-1697), emphasizes the defense of Ceuta.<br /> <br />"War of Succession" (1704-1714); Action Porto, Valencia defense acanthus, site Elche, battle of Almansa sites Alcira, Játiva, Denia. Battle Balanguer, Peñalba, Saragossa and Brihuega. Miravete blockade and siege of Barcelona.<br /><br />No doubt the english translations are a bit "off", but by moving your cursor over the selected text you can also see the original spanish text, which may be better in some cases. Except for their brief 2-year stint in "Africa", they appear to have been quite active throughout the period with some very prominent battles and sieges mentioned.<br /><br />I'm still "digging" through sites suggested by Dr. Picouet to find better OoB's for the major actions. Unfortunately, my local library isn't the most reliable at getting me foreign texts like those mentioned in the bibliography (and with my poor spanish, I'd be lost anyways), so I'm somewhat dependant on the net.<br /><br />BillSir William the Agedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503300059802446520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980135127858355520.post-54538640493960515332009-05-13T09:22:00.000-07:002009-05-13T09:22:00.000-07:00Good stuff, Bill.
