General Sir Brent Spencer GCB (c. 1760 – 29 December 1828) was an Anglo-Irish officer in the British Army, seeing active service during the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolutionary Wars. During the Peninsular War he became General Wellesley's second-in-command on two occasions. He fought at Vimeiro and testified in Wellesley's favour at the inquiry following the Convention of Cintra. He led a division at Bussaco and two divisions at Fuentes de Onoro. After the latter action, he had an independent command in northern Portugal. Wellesley, now Lord Wellington, was not satisfied that Spencer was up to the responsibilities of second-in-command and he was replaced by Thomas Graham. Miffed, Spencer left Portugal and never returned. He became a full general in 1825.

  • Генерал сэр Брент Спенсер GCB (1760 — 29 декабря 1828) был офицером британской армии, участвовавшим в сражениях времён американской войны за независимость и французских революционных войн. Во время Пиренейских войн он дважды становился заместителем генерала Уэлсли. Сражался в битве при Вимейру и давал показания в пользу Уэлсли на дознании после Синтрской конвенции. Он возглавлял дивизию в Бусаку и две дивизии в Фуэнтес-де-Оньоро. После этой битвы он командовал подразделением в северной Португалии. Уэлсли, теперь лорд Веллингтон, не был удовлетворен тем, как Спенсер выполнял обязанности заместителя командира, и заменил его Томасом Грэхэмом. Обиженный, Спенсер покинул Португалию и более туда не вернулся. Он стал генералом в 1825 году. (ru)
