The Battle of Saint-Denis was fought on November 23, 1837, between British colonial authorities under Lieutenant-Colonel Gore and Patriote rebels in Lower Canada as part of the Lower Canada Rebellion. The Patriotes were led by Wolfred Nelson. Gore was sent to quell the uprising in the Richelieu River valley in conjunction with a force led by Lieutenant-Colonel George Wetherall. Gore was the first to arrive at a Patriote-held site. Nelson had organized the defence with most of the well-armed rebels within a stone house that overlooked the road. Gore, accompanied by only one cannon, attempted to take the stone house three times, with the cannon providing ineffective fire. Another attempt to flank the house to the left failed when Gore's soldiers encountered the less well-armed militia. Runni

  • La bataille de Saint-Denis est un affrontement armé entre les troupes britanniques du lieutenant-colonel Charles Stephen Gore, qui soutiennent les huissiers du gouvernement colonial venus arrêter les chefs politiques du parti opposé au gouvernement (le Parti patriote, majoritaire) et un regroupement d'hommes qui se porte à la défense de ces mêmes chefs. L'affrontement se produit le 23 novembre 1837 au cœur du village de Saint-Denis dans la vallée du Richelieu, au Bas-Canada, aujourd'hui le Québec (Canada). Il se conclut par une victoire du groupe d'hommes armés qui défend les chefs du Parti patriote. L'épisode se déroule dans le cadre de rébellions de 1837 et 1838 du Haut et du Bas-Canada. (fr)
