Life as soldier

Vicente Benavides Grandes CSM de la historia chilena Vicente Benavides Calabozo Mutante

He initially sided with the patriots but changed sides later to side with the royalists. He then led the royalist bands during the so-called Guerra a muerte. This was a time of irregular warfare and Benavides got the aid of many Mapuche chiefs to combat the Chileans and pillage the countryside. He became known in this period for cruelty towards prisoners and breaking faith during truces. The Pincheira brothers, a future outlaw group, served Benavides in the Guerra a muerte by defending the Cordillera. In 1821 he seized an American merchant vessel, the Hersilia, and later destroyed the vessel.

Benavides was captured near the end of the war. After a brief trial in Santiago, Benavides was hanged on February 23, 1822. His body was mutilated and dismembered, due to popular feeling against him.
