Battle of Ramales The Battle of Ramales , a battle of the First Carlist War , occurred at Ramales in Cantabria on May 12 , 1839 . The Liberals were commanded by Baldomero Espartero , the Carlists by Rafael Maroto . The Liberals , initially outnumbering the Carlists twice over , ended up having four times as many forces . This resulted from the fact that Maroto kept eight of his seventeen battalions in reserve and had ordered the defenders of the fortification of Guardamino to abandon this post . Maroto was later accused of complicity with his opponent Espartero for having performed these two actions . Espartero ordered Leopoldo O ' Donnell to attack the Carlists positioned in the heights of Mazo , while Ramón Castañeda was ordered by Espartero to attack the Carlists at the Peña del Moro . Ramales was battered by the Isabeline artillery , but the Liberals were only able to take this town after annihilating a Carlist force of 27 men entrenched in a nearby cave . There are different versions of the story of how this annihilation took place . Some attribute the actions of the Liberal guerrilla Juan Ruiz Gutierrez , known as " Cobanes " , and say that Cobanes threw straw into the cave and then set it on fire , thereby dislodging the Carlist defenders . Others attribute the victory to a 7 - hour siege of artillery or the use of Congreve rockets . Ramales was ultimately conquered but was destroyed both by the Carlist forces in retreat and by the Liberal occupiers . Ramales was renamed " Ramales de La Victoria " after the battle , and Espartero received the title of " Duque de La Victoria " ( Duke of La Victoria ) . For the Carlists , the loss of Ramales meant that they had to evacuate the valley of Carranza , lost the metal foundry at Guriezo , and had to abandon the chance to operate from Cantabrian lands and potentially invade Asturias and Galicia .
