Raid on Nassau
The Raid on Nassau was a privately raised Franco-Spanish expedition during the War of the Spanish Succession led by Blas Moreno Mondragón and Clause Le Chesnaye. The joint bourbon invaders attacked Nassau, the capital of the English Bahamas at the time and an important base of privateering for English corsairs aiming to end privateering actions in the Cuban and Saint Domingue's Caribbean seas. The town of Nassau was quickly taken〔Albury p.55〕 and sacked, plundered and burnt down.〔〔〔Craton/Saunders p.103〕 The fort of Nassau was dismantled, and the English governor, with all the English soldiers were carried off prisoners.〔Marley p.7〕 One year later the new English governor Sir Edward Birch landing in Nassau found the island so abandoned that he was forced to ship back home.

The officers from Spain and France, who viewed Nassau as a mutual menace raised a Franco-Spanish expedition of French boucaniers and Spanish soldiers aboard two frigates, one commanded by Blas Moreno Mondragón and the other by Claude Le Chesnaye. They surprise 250 English inhabitants at the capital of New Providence slaughtering more than 100, seizing 22 guns, throwing down all the fortifications and returning to Santiago de Cuba a few days later with 13 prizes and eighty to a hundred prisoners. Among them was the governor Ellis Lightwood.〔〔
