Havana-born Pedro de Ampudia fought against the Republic of Texas in 1840-1842 and commanded the Army of the North until replaced by General Mariano Arista on April 4, 1846. Ampudia then conducted the siege against Fort Texas (later renamed Fort Brown)and in turn replaced Arista after the defeats at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma on May 8 and 9. Ampudia commanded the defense of Monterrey before surrendering and retreating to Saltillo and San Luis Potosi. He again fought the U.S. at Cerro Gordo.
