Here it is - the next installment of the Napoleonic Wars series. This was until very recently called 'Corunna 1809', but I think this is probably a more enticing title, and better reflects the broad sweep of the video. I hope you enjoy it, and there's a special section on the 95th Rifles and Baker rifle which is sure to appeal to all Sharpe fans! 

This video will go live tomorrow, 16 Jan, to mark the 210th anniversary of the Battle of Corunna.

Thank you all again for your amazing support. Feel free to send me feedback, comments, questions and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. 

Best, 

Toby

The war in Spain wasn't about French ideals, It was more of a dynastic war. Crown Prince Fernando had a way better claim to the thrown than Joseph, whom everyone called El Rey Intruso (The intruder king). Had Napoleon accepted Fernando's deal and withdrawn troops from Spain at Bayonne, he would have saved himself a lot of trauma in the future.
