Juan O'Donojú
Juan O'Donojú was a Spanish general of Irish descent and the last viceroy of New Spain, appointed by the liberal government in Madrid. Arriving in Mexico in 1821 to find the country almost entirely in the hands of Agustín de Iturbide's Army of the Three Guarantees, he signed the Treaty of Córdoba on 24 August 1821, accepting Mexican independence. He died in Mexico City a few weeks later.
