Battle of Heilsberg
The Battle of Heilsberg took place in 1807, during the Napoleonic Wars.
At Heilsberg (an East Prussian town), on 10 June 1807 (four days before the decisive Battle of Friedland in the War of the Sixth Coalition), a battle was fought between the French and the Russians. The French army, under Marshals Murat and Lannes, attacked the Russian army, under General Bennigsen, which held strong defensive positions in the town. Benigsen repelled several attacks, resulting in huge French casualities, but had to withdraw towards Friedland the following day.
