Childhood and
youth
Simon , of Basque descent
of Bolibarjauregui , was born on the night of 24 to 25 julio 3 of 1783 in a
manor house located in the Plaza San Jacinto
Caracas . 4 was baptized on July 30, 1783 , in the Cathedral Caracas , with the
names of Simon Jose Antonio de la Santicima Trinidad de la Concepcion , by Dr .
Juan Felix Jerez de Aristeguieta , his cusin who , according to don Juan
Vicente , father of the child , put the name of Simon .
Early Childhoodin
In January 1786 . Simon was
two years old , his father died of tuberculosis , and so Dona Concepcion was as
head of household , effectively ensuring the interests of the family until his death .
However , the responsibilities
caused his health , too sick tuberculosis , decayed rapidly and , in the
opinion of medical historians , and then you may suffer the Bolivar tuberculous
primary infection with a type of tuberculosis that goes unnoticed while the body's defenses are favorable.
Concepcion died on July 6, 1792,
when Simon was nine, but taking care to make a will in which I decided who
should take care of their children.
The brothers became Bolivar
custody of his grandfather , Don feliciano Palacios , when he assumed the role
of tutor felt so sick I started to cook their will to appoint a replacement as gyardian of her
grandchildren and decided ro ask them to review respect their will.
Simon was entrusted to his uncle
Don Esteban Palcios y Blanco , but as he was in Spain remained in the custody
of Don Carlos Palacios i Blsnco , another of his uncles , who apparently was a
man she did not get along and was rough
, hard character , narrowminded , who are frequently absent from Caracas to
meet their properties and therefore used to leave his nephew attended by
servants and going on your own to public school Caracas.
References Bolivar left in his
correspondence make suppose that his childhood was happy , safe , surrounded by
strong emotions and fond memories with prominet
and influential relatives in an aristocratic environment and fond
memories with prominent that and
influential relatives in an aristocratic environment and generally in an
environment that provided her emotional balance , love and affection .
In this sense there are some
stories that were popular in venezuela who had Bolivar as a troubled child because the romantic writers
considered essential attribute an untamed childhood believing , according to the fashion of the time , I
could not get an exceptional man of a child average but has demonstarted that
these stories were invented and
introduced in the stories of history by Aristides Rojas , considered an
axcellent storyteller but I often used his imagination to lack of documents to
prove the veracity of yheir atories.
Education
Bolivar School perfomance was
not very bright as a student at public School , an institution run by the
council of Caracas that worked poorly due to lack of resources and organiztion.
At the , Rrodriguez was

see you personall and the protest of his niece Maria Antonieta on education and
attention she received her brother were frequent . Faced with the prospect of
livinbg with his master , Simon escaped from the house of his uncle the July
23, 1795, to take refuge in his sister Maria Antonieta , who held temporary
custody, until the court case was resolved in the Real hearing that returned to
Caracas Don Calos , custody of Simon.
Simon tried to resist but
was forcibly removed from his sister's house and carried on wings for a slave
to the house of his master.
Once there , the conditions
under which the master lived with Rodrigues were not ideal , they had to share
the space with 20 people in a house unfit for it , and so Simon escaped from
there a couple of times on that was back by court order.
Before long , Rodrigues
resigned from teacher to go to europe and the Royal Audiencia of Caracas
determined that Simon was transferred to the Academy of Marth , led by father
andujar and working that Simon was
transferred to the Academy of Math , led by father Andujar and working at his
uncle Carlos.
