The Spanish quickly blockaded the Gibraltar garrison under Elliott, and laid siege. They were later joined by French forces in the Great Siege. Elliott successfully defended the city for four years and after the garrison was fully resupplied by a British fleet under Admiral Howe in October 1783, the Spanish resolve to take Gibraltar dissipated. For his heroic efforts, Elliott was awarded the title of First Baron Heathfield of Gibraltar
