José Ramón Rodil, 1st Marquis of Rodil
Don José Ramón Rodil y Campillo, 1st Marquis of Rodil and 3rd Viscount of Trobo, (Santa María de Trobo, Lugo Province, February 5, 1789 – Madrid, February 20, 1853) was a Spanish general and statesman, born in Santa María del Trovo, Galicia region. Originally a law student at the University of Santiago de Compostela, he enlisted in the Spanish army and went to Peru in 1817 as one of the commissioned officers in the fight against the pro-independence nationalist forces.
He led the Carabineros Corps, established by a royal decree issued by King Fernando VII in 1829 at the time that Luis López Ballesteros was Minister of Finance.〔(Real decreto de organización del Cuerpo de Carabineros del Reino) 9 de diciembre 1842 Gaceta de Madrid nº2985 )〕
==The last stand of the Spaniards in Peru==
In 1824 he assumed command of the last Spanish stronghold on Peruvian territory, Callao port city. Besieged by nationalist forces backed by Simón Bolívar, Rodil refused to surrender, even as scurvy and starvation wreaked havoc among the hundreds of loyalists living in the fort. Even his top lieutenants began turning against him, only for Rodil to execute them by firing squad. He even executed his chaplain, Pedro Marieluz, for not revealing to him the details of the confessions made by those sentenced to death.
The Patriots, despairing at the resistance of the Spaniards, threatened reprisals against the defenders of Callao but were countermanded by Bolívar: "''Heroism does not merit punishment. How we would applaud Rodil if he were a patriot!''". Nevertheless, in the long run, resistance proved futile; two of Rodil's trusted comrades who commanded other forts nearby, and their forces, jumped to the nationalist side, thus revealing Rodil's potential defensive plans. On January 22, 1826, Rodil surrendered to Venezuelan general Bartolome Salom and was allowed to go back to Spain.
