'''Fr.Miguel Hidalgo''' lived from May 8, 1753 to July 31, 1811.  He was a [[Catholic]] priest who is called the 'Father of Mexican independence'.

Although a [[Catholic]] [[priest]], he disobeyed the many orders that the religious order had given him to desist on his war against the legitimate government. In September 1810 he conspired with a few [[France|French]] to overthrow the Spanish government in Mexico. His plans were discovered by the [[Spain|Spanish]] so he had to rush his plans, so he did not have enough time to prepare his revolution well. On [[September 16]], which is nowadays a holiday in [[Mexico]], he gathered the people of his village of [[Dolores]] at his church and told them to start a revolt and start killing the Spanish. He also gathered a mob to march towards [[Mexico City]].

In Guanajuato, his mob pillaged and raped women, even when Hidalgo had promised them not to do it. The mob didn't listen to him. He defeated the Spanish another time at [[Monte de las Cruces]] close to Mexico City, but he decided not to attack the capital. Instead he returned to [[Guadalajara]] where he had himself worshipped as a God-king and killed many Spanish civilians.{{fact}}
