José Alejandro de Aycinena y Carrillo (24 April 1767 – 26 May 1826) was a Spanish military officer and politician who served as the Colonial Intendant of the Intendancy of San Salvador from 1811 to 1812.

Early and personal life

[edit]

José Alejandro de Aycinena y Carrillo was born on 24 April 1767 in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala, which was then a part of the Spanish Empire.[1] His father was Juan Fermín de Aycinena e Irigoyen (es), a member of the conservative Aycinena Family (es), and his mother was Ana María Carrillo y Gálvez de Corral.[1][2] He was the Rector of the M. I. University of Guatemala and the Attorney of the Real Audiencia of Guatemala.[3]

Military career

[edit]

Aycinena y Carrillo was a Colonel in the Spanish Army and was in command of the Milicias de Infantería (Infantry Militias).[1] On 5 November 1811, 400 Salvadorans led by José Matías Delgado and Manuel José Arce in the Intendancy of San Salvador declared independence and overthrew its Colonial Intendant, Antonio Gutiérrez y Ulloa.[4] Gutiérrez y Ulloa was replaced by José Mariano Batres y Asturias by the independence leaders.[1][4][5] Aycinena y Carrillo was sent into San Salvador to crush the rebellion.[1][6] On 3 December 1811, after suppressing the independence movement, Aycinena y Carrillo became the Colonial Intendant of San Salvador to bring "tranquility and betterment" to the intendancy.[1][3][7][8] His term as Colonial Intendant ended in August 1812 when he was elected as Advisor of the State of the Real Audiencia of Guatemala, being replaced by José María Peinado y Pezonarte.[1][8]
