Fernando Valízeno, was a famous Inyurstan military commander and founding father. Popularly known as "L'Admiràle Primiéro" ("The First Admiral"), he remains a popular historical figure in modern Inyursta.
Early Life
Service
Capture & Death
The coup perpetrators were surrounded, and many were prepared and expecting to die fighting. However, at least three of Valízeno's ships had been discovered and their crew captured. Bernado Lafayette then swore "En Doléure de Nadé" that Valízeno's junior officers and enlisted crew who assisted in the coup would be pardoned and allowed to return their homes unharmed (albeit discharged and banned from service). Knowing Lafayette to be a man of his word, Fernando surrendered to spare the lives of his crew.
Fernando Valízeno was hung on July 1st, 1845, along with five other co-conspirators. He refused to repent to an attending catholic priest declaring that "there is no sin in regime change". His body, along with the others, was cremated and dumped at an undisclosed location in the hopes his memory would be forgotten - a move that would ultimately be in vain.
Legacy
Inyurstan Civil War
In a strange twist of irony, Valízeno's final words would come to haunt not the regime that put him to death, but the one that replaced it.
Modern Times
One of Inyursta's most prominent warships, the Valízeno-Class Cruiser is named after him.
