Before squarely in the tradition of Huaura bridge, the favorite villa of two Republican sanctities with gimped in general (San Martin and Santa Cruz), take the opportunity to devote a few lines to the history of the founding of the Franciscan tenement, now in ruins, but in which faculty held its legislature some sad remembrance. Captain D.
Gonzalo de Heredia and Rengifo, descendant of a conquistador, a bit of their marriage to Catalina Núñez Vela, the unfortunate debt viceroy of that name, was killed overnight in the street Huaura without justice might come to discover the killer . Not having left son who inherited his wretched Don Fernando de Izazaga and Meneses was thought entitled to the estate of the deceased, and filed suit against the widow, but even Catalina Meneses accused of being the murderer of her husband, could not present clear proof, and Don Fernando, who belonged to the family Count of Cifuentes and Princess of Eboli (the famous one-eyed how to retortero brought the gloomy Philip II, making commit follies of lad), was acquitted in all instances.
I was about to plead in favor of Don Fernando inheritance, when one morning, cleaning Catalina pictures that adorned the walls of his room, found at the juncture of a painting representing the Seraphic a bundle of papers, among other of importance, will find a full-fledged, signed by Hall two weeks before his tragic death. The captain would have any inkling of what was to happen, and it came to remembering what never was defeated forewarned.
Heredia, who by her mother Dona Graciana Rengifo was captain of the school up to San Pablo in Lima, leaving the fifth of his fortune to his widow, a good legacy to the Jesuits, and the rest, which exceeded one hundred thousand dollars, tenement factory to San Francisco, with enough income to support the monks and maintenance of worship. Tan
as would a will, there was no Rabbula who dared to put him client paying to sponsor the claim de Meneses, who had to bite the tip of his mustache and swallowing. If he was the murderer, driven by greed of the inheritance of his crime did not draw the benefits they were promised.
early seventeenth century and for the convenience of traveling from Lima to the coast-down, as our grandparents said, referring to the valleys north of the capital of the viceroyalty, was built on lowland river bridge a single arc, which rested on one side on some rocks of the hill Chacaca, which is at the entrance of the village, and the opposite in a huge stone near Peralvillo. To put the town's indoor pirate raids that one of their raids had cut Huaura killing the wealthy neighbor Don Luis de la Carrera, was a cover to the end of the bridge, and she placed two mortars and small-caliber guns.
That should not have to be very solid work of the bridge is proved that the sub-delegation in 1785 Don Luis Martín de Mata, also builder of the Santa River Bridge, undertook to repair it with cash expenditures of farmers in the valley. The deputy brought to fruition his company, but some neighbors at odds with authority, they began to say that the repair was poorly done and that the bridge collapse threatened the best day.
Leading the oppositional side and scary was Don Ignacio Fernández Estrada, influential landowner, who won the Viceroy license to build a new bridge without charge of the royal treasury, but which was given over thirty years the average real right to charge a toll to every person and a real for each mule.
As was natural, all preferred the free passage of the old bridge, and this did not count the concessionaire Fernández Estrada. I do not know how he wrote that this gentleman, but the positive is a Sunday, before beginning the Mass, the priest read a statement to parishioners archbishop, by which his Lordship stated in mortal sin all who chance to venture through the old bridge; as with deliberate will be put in blatant danger of death, or what is the same, was placed in the same condition to the suicide.
If this had been a government mandate of fixed neighbors have all conspired to not trade for the new bridge. But that's engaging, not the fleece, but eternal happiness, and singing was different. "To suffer the pocket and not suffer the soul, or said to parishioners. And
Fernández Estrada began from that day to make broth with maravedises fat that charged for toll collection. Woe
unfortunate that dared to put the plant on the old bridge or bridge excommunicated! Boys they would have stoned for heresy and bad Christian and a Freemason, which by that year the Gazette said that the French Revolution was the exclusive work of evil men who had created a hellish cult, baptized the masonry.
bridge But you were favored with the archiepiscopal blessing!
In 1810, at a time when cavalry back on a mule for an Indian village of Végueta, whim seized the new bridge say, "here say so", and collapsed with a crash. The passenger was entrusted to the Virgen del Carmen, and instead of hitting the river, was found unharmed with his bad on the opposite side.
In memory of the miraculous salvation of India was built in that place a small chapel dedicated to the Virgen del Carmen, and popular devotion which constantly flatters with candles.
The old bridge, or bridge of sinners, is retained without giving a scare to anyone yet, although the municipality must not harbor much confidence in him, as a landowner who in 1872 sought permission for the transit of a machinery that weighed four tons, the value previously demanded foothold of the bridge.
