Abstract
The present article seeks to examine the economic context of a Peruvian city during the War of Independence and explains the positive and negative consequences of that war. By examining notarial and tax records held in regional archives it also seeks to reconstruct the business and political activities of the Spanish trader Lucas de la Cotera, who for various reasons became during this brief period the main financier and supplier of the last vice-regal government in Peru.
