[edit] Biography
He was a deputy in the Cádiz Cortes and resided in Spain between 1812 and 1817.
On his return to Peru he was named Governor of Trujillo, and proclaimed the independency of the city on the arrival of José de San Martín.
He briefly assumed the Presidency for the first time on February of 1823, and again on July of the same year. When José de la Riva Agüero left the presidency, Sucre briefly took over the position until Torre Tagle was named President. Torre Tagle remained in charge until the arrival of Simón Bolivar on February of 1824.
During his tenure, the Peruvian flag, which had been established by José de San Martín, was changed due to its complex elaboration. The new flag model proposed by Torre Tagle was composed of three horizontal fringes, with the two extreme sides colored in red and the middle one in white with a sun in the center.
