SAN ROMAN, Miguel de Biography - A Stan Klos Company
SAN ROMAN, Miguel de, Peruvian soldier, born in Puno
in 1802; died in Chorrillos, 3 April, 1863. He was the son of an Indian chief,
and accompanied his father in the revolt of Pumacahua (q. v.), and, when the
latter was captured and shot, the boy swore vengeance against the Spaniards.
In 1821 he entered the army and took part in the campaign
of independence. During the second siege of Callao in 1826, by order of Bolivar
he protected Bellavista. In the campaign of the restoration he served in the
constitutional army, and was present in the battle of Yungai, 30 January, 1839.
In 1841, during the war against Bolivia, he commanded one of the divisions of
the Peruvian army, and after the battle of Ingavi on 18 November, which was
fatal to his republic, he crossed Desaguadero river, occupied the department of
Puno, and there he employed himself in the reorganization of the army.
In 1845 he was elected senator of the republic, and he
afterward became president of the council of state, and in consequence
vice-president of the republic. In 1851, as a deputy, he occupied his place in
the legislative body. He was appointed minister of war in 1855, and in 1856 was
a member of the constituent congress, and an author of the constitution that was
promulgated that year. In 1858, during several months, he occupied the executive
as president of the council of ministers. In 1862 he was elected president of
the republic; but his administration was of short duration, as he died early in
the following year.
