Patricio Lynch

Patricio Javier de los Dolores Lynch y Solo de Zaldívar (18 December 1825 in Valparaíso – 13 May 1886) was a lieutenant in the Royal Navy and a rear admiral in the Chilean Navy, and one of the principal figures of the later stages of the War of the Pacific. He has been nicknamed the "Last Viceroy of Peru", and the Chinese slave-labourers he liberated from the Peruvian haciendas called him the "Red Prince" (Chinese: 红公子; pinyin: Hóng gōngzǐ; Spanish: El Príncipe Rojo) because of his red hair.
