The siege of Pensacola included two separate attempts in 1707 by English-supported Creek Indians to capture the town and fortress of Pensacola, one of two major settlements (the other was St. Augustine) in Spanish Florida. The attacks, part of Queen Anne's War (the North American theater of the War of the Spanish Succession), resulted in the burning of the town, and caused most of its Indian population to flee, although the fort withstood repeated attacks. The battles were primarily fought in the nighttime hours due to the excessive heat of the day.

dbo:abstract
  • Los sitios de Pensacola fueron dos intentos de los británicos, apoyados por los amerindios muscogui, de tomar el pueblo y fortaleza de Pensacola en 1707, que por entonces era uno de los dos mayores asentamientos de la Florida española junto con San Agustín. Los ataques, que formaron parte de la Guerra de la reina Ana —el teatro norteamericano de la Guerra de Sucesión Española—, tuvieron como resultado la quema del pueblo. Asimismo, provocaron la huida de la mayoría de la población india, a pesar de que el fuerte resistió las repetidas ofensivas. El primero de los asedios se produjo en agosto de 1707 y tuvo como consecuencia la destrucción de la localidad. No obstante, el fuerte de San Carlos de Austria resistió la acometida. Una segunda expedición llegó a la zona a finales del mes de noviembre del mismo año y perpetró ataques durante tres noches consecutivas, todos ellos sin éxito, antes de retirarse. El gobernador de Pensacola, , cuya guarnición se vio mermada por enfermedad, reclutó a los criminales convictos para que prestasen ayuda en la defensa del fuerte. (es)

The battles were primarily fought in the nighttime hours due to the excessive heat of the day. The first siege, in August, resulted in the destruction of the town, but Fort San Carlos de Austria successfully resisted the onslaught. In late November, a second expedition arrived, and made unsuccessful attacks on three consecutive nights before withdrawing. Pensacola's governor, Don Sebastián de Moscoso, whose garrison was depleted by disease, recruited convicted criminals to assist in the fort's defense. (en)
  • L'Assedio di Pensacola furono due tentativi separati nel 1707 da parte degli inglesi e del popolo Creek loro alleato di catturare la città e la fortezza di Pensacola, uno dei due principali insediamenti spagnoli (l'altro era St. Augustine) nella Florida spagnola. Gli attacchi, parte della Guerra della Regina Anna (nome con cui è conosciuta in Nord America la Guerra di successione spagnola) portarono all'incendio del villaggio, fatto che portò molti indiani ad abbandonare l'insediamento anche se il forte resistette ai ripetuti attacchi. Il primo assedio, nell'agosto del 1707, portò alla distruzione del villaggio, ma il Forte San Carlos de Austria successivamente resistette ancora. Alla fine di novembre di quello stesso anno venne portata avanti una nuova spedizione che riuscì a portare a compimento tre attacchi di scarso successo prima di ritirarsi. Il governatore di Pensacola, don Sebastián de Moscoso, la cui guarnigione era decimata dalle malattie, arrivò a coscrivere dei criminali per difendere il forte. (it)
