Antoni de Villarroel Antonio de Villarroel y Pelaez ( 1656 , Barcelona – 1726 , A Coruña ) was a Spanish military commander in the service of Philip V until 1710 in the War of the Spanish Succession . After the disgrace of the Duke of Orléans , he switched to the Habsburg cause of Charles VI , keeping his rank . In 1713 he was appointed general commander of the Army of Catalonia . Early life . Antonio was born to a wealthy military father and an Asturian mother in the Galician town of Vilanova dos Infantes ( now the province of Orense ) . Military career . He joined the army at a very young age , and in 1697 , he defended Barcelona against a French army . At the beginning of the War of Spanish Succession , he fought with the army of Philip V , but the fall from grace of the Duke of Orléans forced him to Galicia where he joined the Allied anti - Borbón league . He was there appointed a deputy marshal for the Archduke Charles VI . Once in the service of the Hapsburgs , he distinguished himself in the Battle of Villaviciosa and in the thankless task of evacuation of Aragon in 1711 . In recognition of his accomplishments , he was appointed supreme commander of the forces of Catalonia and was charged with organizing city defenses in the 1713 - 14 Siege of Barcelona . With just over 5 , 000 men , of whom about 3 , 500 were members of the guild militia , Villarroel was forced to defend the city against some 40 , 000 mixed French and Spanish supporters of Phillip V . As the summer of 1714 passed , desperate times in Barcelona forced Villarroel to attempt to force an exit of the city . The attempted exit was repulsed by the Duke of Berwick who had replaced the Duke of Popoli as commander of the besiegers . By September , the Franco - Spanish forces had opened a sizable breach in the walls and the city counselors pleaded with Villarroel to capitulate the city to the Duke of Berwick . Refusing to surrender the city , Villarroel continued defending the city until he was injured , whereupon the city was officially surrendered to the forces of Phillip V . Despite assurances given contrary to the fact , the 25 military commanders of Barcelona ' s defenses , including Villarroel , were all imprisoned . Imprisonment and death . Villarroel was imprisoned first in the castle of Alicante and later ( 1715 ) in A Coruña , where he died ( 22 February 1726 ) . He spent his last years confined in a cell that flooded with the rising tide , circumstance that caused a total paralysis of his two legs . The actual date of his death was discovered by Josep Catà and Antoni Muñoz in 2009 . Until then , it was considered that Villarroel had been released from the Alcazar of Segovia following the peace of Vienna and had lived in the pension that would have granted , until his death , the Archduke Charles Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire . Legacy . A street in the l ' Eixample district of modern Barcelona is named after Villarroel . In the historical novel " Victus " of the Catalan writer Albert Sánchez Piñol , about the war of the Spanish succession and specially the Siege of Barcelona , Villarroel is portrayed as the true hero of the Barcelona defense .

Beagle - class destroyer The " Beagle " class ( officially redesignated as the G class in 1913 ) was a class of sixteen destroyer s of the Royal Navy , all ordered under the 1908 - 1909 programme and launched in 1909 and 1910 . The " Beagles " served during World War I , particularly during the Dardanelles Campaign of 1915 . After the oil - burning Tribal or F class of 1905 and of 1907 , the " Beagles " marked a return to a smaller , more useful design , although still significantly larger than the River or E class . The Admiralty had concern over the availability of oil stocks in the event of a war , so the " Beagles " were coal - burners , the last British destroyers to be so fueled . Unlike their predecessors , the " Beagles " had a more - or - less uniform appearance , with three funnels , although thicknesses varied between ships according to builders ' preferences . Although designed to carry five 12 - pounder gun s , they had the gun ( introduced in the last of the Tribals ) and only three 12 - pounder guns , and the torpedo ( introduced in the singleton " Swift " ) fitted as standard . Importantly , the 12 - pounder guns were redistributed , the guns mounted at the fo ' c ' sle break , which had been standard since the first torpedo boat destroyers , and were prone to being swamped in heavy seas being relocated amidships . Additional improvements included a higher bridge and taller bandstand mount for the gun on the fo ' c ' sle to improve the ability to fight and con the ship in heavy seas . Being coal - fired , they were obsolete by the end of the First World War and the surviving ships were all scrapped by the end of 1921 .
