Battle of Medina
The Battle of Medina was fought approximately 20 mi (32 km) south of San Antonio de Bexar (modern-day downtown San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas) on August 18, 1813, as part of the Mexican War of Independence against Spanish authority in Mexico. Spanish troops led by General José Joaquín de Arredondo defeated republican forces (calling themselves the Republican Army of the North), consisting of Tejano-Mexican and Tejano-American revolutionaries participating in the Gutiérrez–Magee Expedition, under General José Álvarez de Toledo y Dubois. The deadliest battle in Texas history, Spanish forces lost 55 men while over 1,300 Republican soldiers perished in the bloodbath.
