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.
