Julián Bolívar (Bilbao, Vizcaya, c. 1750–1815) was a Spanish field marshal.
[1] At the outbreak of the war, a popular uprising forced the military governor, Field marshal Mendoza, to give up his post and Bolívar was appointed interim governor and president of the war committee in June 1808.
[1] As commander-in-chief of the forces at Gerona, he repelled two French attacks, led by General Duhesme, on 20 June and 20 July.
[1] Promoted to brigadier, Bolívar relinquished his interim command to the new military governor, General Álvarez de Castro, and returned to his earlier appointment of teniente de rey.
[1] After the war, Bolívar was reinstated as a brigadier, 20 October 1815, and two days later, Fernando VII promoted him to field marshal.
