Answer

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla died on 30 July 1811, after being captured by the Spanish authorities and executed for his role in the Mexican War of Independence. Hidalgo was a priest and a leader of the rebellion against Spanish rule, and his death was a major blow to the independence movement. However, the movement continued, and Mexico finally gained its independence in 1821.
