Domingo Rey d'Harcourt (Born Calamocha, Teruel Province, Aragon, Spain, 1883 - died, Ponts de Molins, Gerona Province, Catalonia, Spain, February 7. 1939) was a Spanish military officer. He had risen to Colonel of artillery, and joined the military rising against the Republican Government that started the Spanish Civil War. He commanded the Nationalist garrison during the Battle of Teruel. He held out against heavy odds until finally forced to surrender on January 8, 1938. Despite his heroism, his surrender was criticized by many in the Nationalist high command. He was jailed for treason against the Republic first in Valencia and then in Barcelona. During the Nationalist Catalonia Offensive he was taken towards the French border but was executed by his guards along with forty-two other prisoners of the Battle of Teruel, including Anselmo Polanco, Bishop of Teruel.[1]
