Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, Marquis of Maranhão, GCB, ODM, OSC (14 December 1775 – 31 October 1860), styled Lord Cochrane between 1778 and 1831, was a Scottish naval flag officer of the Royal Navy, mercenary and radical politician. He was a daring and successful captain of the Napoleonic Wars, leading Napoleon to nickname him Le Loup des Mers, 'The Sea Wolf'. He was successful in virtually all his naval actions.
Lord Thomas Alexander Cochrane (1775-1860) A lo largo de su vida, el británico lord Cochrane luchó por la libertad de cuatro naciones: Chile, Perú, Brasil y Grecia. De cuna aristocrática, ingresó en la Marina británica siendo un adolescente, y le correspondió servir a su país en el Mediterráneo, enfrentando a las flotas francesa y española. Su brillante desempeño le valió el ascenso a capitán en 1800 y recibió el mando de la corbeta Speedy. Cuatro años más tarde fue transferido a las islas Azores, donde se le confió la administración de la fragata Pallas. En 1806 abandonó temporalmente la Armada para ingresar en la vida política como representante en la Cámara de los Comunes del distrito de Honinton, en Devonshire. En su labor como diputado se ganó la animosidad de sus antiguos superiores, pues denunció las arbitrariedades y abusos que sufrían los tripulantes de la Marina Real. En 1813, y como consecuencia de esta postura, fue involucrado en un fraude contra la Bolsa de Comercio de Londres, por lo que fue expulsado de la Marina y el Parlamento. Aunque al año siguiente le fueron restituidos sus derechos políticos y fue elegido diputado por el distrito de Westminster, su vida lejos del mar había perdido la emoción de antaño. La oportunidad de retomar su carrera naval se presentó en abril de 1817, cuando fue contactado en Londres por un representante del general José de San Martín, con el ofrecimiento de viajar a Chile para colaborar en la guerra de independencia y hacerse cargo de la organización de la Escuadra Nacional. La misión consistía en apoyar desde el mar la campaña contra las fuerzas españolas acantonadas en el Perú. En esta tarea, Lord Cochrane impuso un severo bloqueo al puerto de El Callao, protegió el desembarco del Ejército Libertador en Paracas y sometió el dispositivo fortificado de Valdivia mediante una hábil maniobra terrestre.
A pesar del prestigio que obtuvo con estas misiones, Lord Cochrane se trabó en una disputa con el General San Martín; la personalidad audaz e impulsiva del marino inglés era contraria al carácter sereno y calculador del militar argentino. Estas diferencias se profundizaron durante la campaña en Perú y, en 1823, Cochrane abandonó Chile para integrarse a la Marina brasileña, que en ese momento defendía sus costas de la flota portuguesa. Posteriormente se dirigió a Grecia para ayudar en el enfrentamiento con la armada turca. En 1830, como premio a sus servicios en el extranjero, Lord Cochrane fue reintegrado a la Real Marina Británica por una expresa petición del rey Guillermo IV, siendo asignado a la estación naval de las Indias Occidentales. En 1851, poco antes de jubilar, fue ascendido al grado de Almirante, recuperando todos los honores que merecía. http://www.memoriachilena.gob.cl/602/w3-article-726.html#presentacion

Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, 1st Marquess of Maranhão, GCB, ODM (14 December 1775 – 31 October 1860), styled Lord Cochrane between 1778 and 1831, was a Scottish naval flag officer and radical politician.
He was a daring and successful captain of the Napoleonic Wars, leading the French to nickname him Le Loup des Mers ('The Sea Wolf').
He was dismissed from the Royal Navy in 1814, following a conviction for fraud on the Stock Exchange and he then served in the rebel navies of Chile, Brazil and Greece during their respective wars of independence.
In 1832, he was pardoned and reinstated in the Royal Navy with the rank of Rear Admiral of the Blue. After several further promotions, he died in 1860 with the rank of Admiral of the Red, and the honorary title of Rear-Admiral of the United Kingdom.
His life and exploits served as one source of inspiration for the naval fiction of nineteenth and twentieth-century novelists, particularly C. S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower and Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey.
In 1812, Cochrane married Katherine ("Katy") Frances Corbet Barnes, a beautiful orphan, who was about twenty years his junior. This was an elopement and a civil ceremony, due to the opposition of his wealthy uncle Basil Cochrane, who disinherited his nephew as a result. Katherine, whom Cochrane called 'Kate', 'Kitty' or 'Mouse' in letters to her, often accompanied her husband on his campaigns in South America and Greece.
Cochrane and Katherine remarried in the Anglican Church in 1818, and in the Church of Scotland in 1825. They had six children;
Thomas Barnes Cochrane, 11th Earl of Dundonald, b. 18 Apr 1814, m. Louisa Harriett McKinnon. William Horatio Bernardo Cochrane, officer, 92nd Gordon Highlanders, b. 8 Mar 1818 m. Jacobina Frances Nicholson. Elizabeth Katharine Cochrane, died close to her first birthday. Katharine Elizabeth Cochrane, d. 25 August 1869, m. John Willis Fleming. Admiral Sir Arthur Auckland Leopold Pedro Cochrane KCB (Commander of HMS Niger), b. 24 Sep 1824, d. 20 Aug 1905. m. Captain Ernest Gray Lambton Cochrane RN (High Sheriff of Donegal) b. 4 Jun 1834, d. 2 Feb 1911 m. 1. Adelaide Blackall 2. Elizabeth Frances Maria Katherine Doherty. The confusion of multiple ceremonies led to suspicions that Cochrane's first son, Thomas Barnes Cochrane, was illegitimate, which delayed Thomas's accession to the Earldom of Dundonald on his father's death.
T h o m a s COCHRANE, (Admiral Lord COCHRANE) (1775-1860) accepted in 1817 the invitation to command the Chilean naval squadron, which he carried out with complete success 1818/ 23 in a series of actions fought along Chile's extensive coast, f+ has since been revered as a national hero. His signal exploit was the cutting out of the Spanish frigate "Esmeralda' under the fortifications of Callao harbour, Peru, 5.11.1820. In 1823 he transferred his services to Brazil and was created Marquess of Maranhao by the Emperor Dom PEDRO 1. He succeeded his father as 10th Earl of Dundonald in 1821 ("Galdames" b Burke's Peerage). His descendants maintain close links with Chile and with the Anglo-Chilean Society (see para. M.vI.

The name Cochrane originates from a habitational name derived from the "Lowlands of Cochrane", near Paisley in Renfrewshire. ... It is also possible the name is derived from the Welsh word "cywrain", which means "skilled".
