Agustina de Aragón

Agustina de Aragón (1786-1857) fought in the defense of Spain during the Peninsular War, at a time when the king's imprisonment meant that all citizens (including women) were encouraged to take up arms. She fought at the battle of Zaragoza, led rebel resistance, and according to legend, became a commissioned officer under the Duke of Wellington.
Goya depicted Agustina de Aragón in his Disasters of War prints.
