The Battle of Maella took place during the First Carlist War on Monday, October 1, 1838, near the Aragonese town of Maella. The battle was a Carlist victory and resulted in the routing of most of the Liberal forces.
The Carlist forces were composed of some 3,500 infantrymen and 500 cavalry.
The Liberals counted on some 5,000 infantry and 300 cavalry. During the fighting, Ramón Cabrera was wounded in the arm but led a desperate cavalry charge, raising the morale of his forces and throwing the Liberal forces into disarray. The Liberal forces counterattacked, throwing the Carlist left guard into disarray. However, Cabrera led four companies of infantry and defeated the Liberal forces.
