About Carlos María de Alvear
Carlos María de Alvear was an Argentine soldier, statesman and diplomat who served as the second Supreme Director of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata from 9 January to 15 April 1815. He played a leading role in the capitulation of royalist-held Montevideo in June 1814 and later commanded the republican army in the Cisplatine War, winning the Battle of Ituzaingó. An authority record of the Archivo General de la Nación gives his full baptismal name as Carlos Antonio José Gabino del Ángel de la Guarda Alvear. Contemporary and later accounts note that Carlos, then a teenager, was aboard the flagship Medea with his father and witnessed the explosion.
