The primogeniture in arms

Born in Requena (Valencia), in 1856, he was the primogeniture in many lands in Galicia from which he earned income. When the French entered Galicia, he rebelled and started a revolt which made him return to this kingdom (from his residence in Madrid), and he turned down a post as member of parliament in Bayona (France). After many difficulties, he entered into the siege of Vigo, where he became a protagonist when he intimidated Governor Chalot to surrender. However, when Pablo Morillo arrived on the scene of the siege, Joaquín’s role lost prominence. He made many enemies because of his repeated conspiracies to become General himself and his protégé Captain Almeida. He would later participate in the siege of Tui. He was named Count of Vigo after the Reconquest and was awarded the rank of Coronel because of his military exploits and also because of his family connections with members of the Supreme Committee.Rexencia.
