Slide Content

Diego Corrientes Mateos was a Spanish bandit famous for his generosity to the poor. (A Robin Hood style) He was born in, Seville on 1757 and died by hanging in the same city in 1781. In 1780, Charlin III of Spain offered 100 gold pieces to anyone who captured Corrientes Mateos dead or alive (he was furious because Diego had robbed a lot of rich people by the time). Corrientes Mateos fled to Portugal but was captured by the governor of Seville and a band of Portuguese. After being brought back to Seville, he was tried and sentenced to death by hanging. After his death, his body was cut into pieces and sent to the different provinces where he had been active. His head stayed in Seville and was buried in the Church of San Roque, where it was found in the 20th Century during restoration work. A metal hook was found in the cranium.
