1)According to Warpup, Spanish troops were in Danemark in 1807-1808, just before the Napoleonic invasion of Spain 1808, in order to support the allied military treaty of 1805 (the year of Trafalgar)
That was the situation of "División del Norte", commanded by teniente general don Pedro Caro y Sureda, marqués de La Romana( 14.905 footmen, 3.088 cavalry y 25 cannons), at thar years.
It seems that it was a good stage, because in 1908, there was a Centennial commemoration in Odense, (where they desembarked), for greeting the moral behavoir of the soldiers during the war time in Danemark. Doctor Carl Smuts remembered that, and the places they were : Randers, Kjerteminde, Roeskilde, Langeland, Syenborg, Faaborg,
Assens, Middelfart, Odense, Fredericia, Horsens and Aarhus.
2)HC Andersen visited Spain in +-1857. He wrote a book (In Spain) and a story (A orillas del Rio Tajo). And he told the audience he was sitting on the knees of a Spanish soldier surrounded of children sitting on the ground, while the guard told them stories in front of the garrison. HC said he wanted to write because of the stories heard there and then. But HC was born in 1805, perhaps he was 3 years old; a bit young for remember.
Was he too kind to the amphytrions? Was it true?---Question about 2)
Are there something that remember today the pass of the División del Norte in Danemark? question about 1)
