Life

Comayagua
Ciudad de Comayagua was the bishopric of the Diócesis de Comayagua and until 1880 the capital of Honduras. It was damaged by earthquakes in 1774 and 1804.
In 1812 Gregorio Tinoco de Contreras, as mayor of Comayagua, proclaimed independence from the Spanish motherland. In November 1817, the Consejo de Indias granted the Alcaldía Mayor of Tegucigalpa independence from the Comayagua government, except in defense matters. January 15, 1818, Juan Antonio Tornos Santa Clara Cagigal handed over the Intendencia of Comayagua to Gregorio Tinoco de Contreras.
In 1819 a conspiracy to depose and capture Tinoco de Contreras as Alcalde Major failed .
Legitimistas
On August 24, 1821, Agustín de Itúrbide signed the Treaty of Cordoba with the Spanish viceroy Juan O'Donojú , which ratified the Iguala plan and thus sanctioned the independence of New Spain. The path to independence marked out by the Mexican ruler was attractive for the members of the colonial authorities, as it represented a legally legitimized transition, in contrast to a revolution which might have threatened their social position. The forerunners of the Partido Conservador called themselves Legitimistas speaking . With this treaty, Agustín de Itúrbide tied the officials of the Ancien Régime to Mexico in the other provinces of New Spain, although Guatemala was not insignificant in colonial New Spain. The opponents of the annexation of the Central American states by the Mexican Empire were mainly to be found among the Fiebres , as the Partido Liberal called itself at the time. Tinoco de Contreras was a member of the Legitimistas . Tinoco de Contreras advocated annexation by the Mexican Empire.
In Tegucigalpa there was resistance to annexation by the Mexican Empire. Tinoco de Contreras mobilized the militia to force Tegucigalpa to join. For his part, José Francisco Morazán Quezada mobilized a company of militia in Guatemala, which suddenly grew to battalion strength , whereupon Tinoco de Contreras refrained from military measures.
On November 21, 1821 Tinoco de Contreras, appointed Juan Lindo to Intendente of the province of Comayagua.
Tinoco de Contreras became a member of the Congreso Constituyente de México in 1821 .
