Juan Fermín de Huidobro (died 1689) was a Spanish military engineer who was Governor of Margarita Province, in what is now Venezuela, between 1681 and 1683. ==Early career== Juan Fermín de Huidobro was born in La Asunción, Isla Margarita, and joined the royal army at an early age. He was of criolla descent. In 1664 he was sent to serve in Trinidad, then in 1668 to New Granada. From there he was appointed to Guayana as lieutenant governor. He returned from Guayana to Margarita, holding various military positions and amassing considerable wealth. Fermín was appointed ''maese de campo'' (military commander) of Margarita in 1677. Governor Juan Muñoz Gadea commissioned him to start construction of the Santa Rosa de la Eminencia castle in La Asunción, on the site of the old San Bernardo fortress. The two men fell out, and work stopped until 1680. Fermín visited Spain, and on 15 June 1680 was authorized to return to Margarita. That year the Council of the Indies ordered him to build a fort with four bastions and a watchtower in Puerto de la Mar, now Porlamar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juan Fermín de Huidobro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
