Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros
Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros y de la Torre
(1756–1829) was a
Spanish
naval officer born in
Cartagena
. He took part in the
Battle of Cape St Vincent
and the
Battle of Trafalgar
, and in the Spanish resistance against
Napoleon
's invasion in 1808. He was later appointed
Viceroy
of the
Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata
, replacing
Santiago de Liniers
. He disestablished the government Junta of
Javier de Elío
and quelled the
Chuquisaca Revolution
and the
La Paz revolution
. An
open cabildo
deposed him as viceroy during the
May Revolution
, but he attempted to be the president of the new government junta, thus retaining power. The popular unrest in Buenos Aires did not allow that, so he resigned. He was banished back to Spain shortly after that, and died in 1829.
