José Bernardo de Tagle y Portocarrero, marquis de Torre Tagle and marquis of Trujillo (Lima, 1779–1825 in El Callao) was a Peruvian soldier and politician, occupying the Peruvian presidency from 1823 to 1824.
Biography
He was the son of José Manuel Tagle Isasaga third Marquis of Torre-Tagle and María Mercedes Zamudio y Portocarrero, both aristocratic Peruvians of Spanish ancestors.
He was a deputy in the Cádiz Cortes and resided in Spain between 1812 and 1817.
On his return to Peru he was named Governor of Trujillo, and proclaimed the independency of the city on the arrival of José de San Martín.
He briefly assumed the Presidency for the first time on February 1823, and again on July of the same year. When José de la Riva Agüero left the presidency, Sucre briefly took over the position until Torre Tagle was named President. Torre Tagle remained in charge until the arrival of Simón Bolivar on February 1824.
During his tenure, the Peruvian flag, which had been established by José de San Martín, was changed due to its complex elaboration. The new flag model proposed by Torre Tagle was composed of three horizontal fringes, with the two extreme sides colored in red and the middle one in white with a sun in the center.
