French forces landed troops on Lissa in October 1810 during a period of mutual raiding.
Throughout 1810, British and French frigate squadrons engaged in raids and counter-raids. In October 1810, Commodore Dubourdieu landed 700 Italian troops on Lissa while Captain Hoste searched in vain for the French squadron in the Southern Adriatic. This period of instability set the conditions for the subsequent naval battle.
