History:

Spanish soldier and politician.

He was a member for a learned family of soldiers that were based in America and the Philippines. He was the only son of Juan Olaguer Feliú Olona, and the nephew of Manuel Olaguer Feliú Olona, who were both military engineers. He studied in San Carlos School in America because his father was based there, and he received a PhD from Lima's University, the same university where he would later become a professor. He was also a lawyer in Lima's Audience.

After his father's death in 1811, he litigated from Cádiz because he considered that he had been deprived of his inheritance due to his distance from Lima. He was deputy for Perú in the Cortes of Cádiz and in the ordinary Cortes of 1813. In the absolutist restoration of 1814, with the return of King Ferdinand VII to Spain, he was locked up in the castle of Benasque.

In 1820, with the success of Riego's uprising and the beginning of the Trienio Liberal (Liberal Triennium), Ramón returned to his political position. He was a member of the Junta Gubernativa in Aragón and State Council. He was designated as State Secretary of the Overseas Government between March and May 1821, and member of the Gobernación de la Península e Islas Adyacentes between May 1821 and January 1822. He died in Sevilla in 1831 when he was 46 years old.
