- **__Basic Information__** o Current City: Chihuahua, Mexico o Hometown: Corralejos hacienda, Pénjamo, Guanajuato, Mexico o Sex: Male o Birthday: 8 May 1753 o Political Views: o Religious Views: Roman Catholic o Bio: My name is Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, I am a Mexican revolutionary priest, im considered the foremost patriot of Mexican independence. I led a revolt against Spanish rule that inaugurated a series of military and political episodes culminating in the achievement of Mexican independence in 1821. I was born a Creole on May 8, 1753. My father was the administrator of a hacienda in the Bajío (in the present state of Guanajuato). I was trained briefly in a Jesuit school before the order was expelled from the empire in 1767. Later that year I matriculated in the diocesan College of San Nicolás in Valladolid (now Morelia). I was intellectually oriented and chose to remain part of the academic community long after I had earned my degrees in theology and had been ordained. By 1776 I was a member of the San Nicolás faculty and remained in Valladolid until 1792 as an academician, an exponent of the Enlightenment, and a Don Juan. In 1790 I became rector of the college, but my advanced ideas and mismanagement of funds soon led to my ouster. From 1792 until 1810 I served as parish priest in a succession of curacies. While in San Felipe (1793-1803), I made my house a salon and promoted French theatrical works, orchestral music, dances, and literary discussions. The Inquisition investigated my activities but did not press charges. On my arrival in Dolores near Guanajuato in 1803, I turned to more socioeconomic interests. These I expressed through my development of local craft industries for the benefit of the Indian and caste population. __ o Favorite Quotations:__ - **__Relationships__** o Mother: Ana Maria Gallaga o Father: Cristóbal Hidalgo y Costilla o Daughters: Two, unknown o Sons: N/A o Brothers: N/A o Sisters: N/A - **__Likes and Interest__** o Activities: Church o Interests: Church o Music: N/A o Books: N/A o Movies: N/A o Television: N/A - **__Education and Work__** o High School: o College/University: San Nicolás o Employer:
