The Battle of Eylau, fought on 7-February 8, 1807, was a bloody and inconclusive
contest between the forces of Napoléon and a mostly Russian army under
General Bennigsen. It was fought near the town of Preußisch Eylau in
East Prussia. Eylau was the first serious check to the French Grande Armée,
which in the previous two campaigning seasons had carried all before it, demolishing
the armies of the established great powers of Europe at Austerlitz in December
1805 (Austria assisted by Russia), and Jena-Auerstedt (Prussia) in October
1806.
