Galway and the Portuguese advanced to meet the Duke of Berwick, who was marching with a large army to occupy Catalonia.
"The two forces met, on the plain of Almanza, on the 24th of April.

We and the Spaniards were superior in number to the English, Dutch, and Portuguese.

The battle was maintained for six hours.

The Portuguese infantry did little, but the English and Dutch repulsed charge after charge, even after the Portuguese and Spanish allies on both wings were defeated.

But, in the end, victory remained with us.
