Agustina Zaragoza Doménech, (1786-1857), Heroine of the Peninsular War (1808-1814), during the first siege of Saragossa, 2 July 1808 (1892). Detail. Known as Agustina of Aragon. Agustina de Aragón contributed to the defence by encouraging the artillerymen and bringing them ammunition and food. The corporal in command of the Portillo artillery battery was wounded, as were the rest of the soldiers at the position. As the battery was exposed to be captured by the French, Agustina fired using one of the cannons. Some wounded artillerymen were able to help her while reinforcements arrived, keeping the position and forcing the enemy to retreat.From "Historia General de España" (General History of Spain) by Miguel Morayta, Volume IV, Madrid, 1892.
