Regarding Captain General Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme. Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme (1778–1842) was a Chilean independence leader who, together with Josι de San Martνn, freed Chile from Spanish rule in the Chilean War of Independence. He was a wealthy landowner of Spanish and Irish ancestry. Although he was the second Supreme Director of Chile (1817–1823), he is considered one of Chile's founding fathers, as he was the first holder of this title to head a fully independent Chilean state.
