The House of Sucre was one of the actors that actively intervened in the great political changes that took place in Western Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries.

Originally from the kingdom of France, the House of Sucre served with distinction various ruling dynasties (Valois, Habsburg and Bourbon), in the political, military and religious fields. Later, with the accession of Felipe de Borbón to the throne of the Hispanic Monarchy, the House of Sucre began a new historical stage on American soil; settling definitively in the Captaincy General of Venezuela and having Cumaná as his new homeland.

In South America, the House of Sucre distinguished itself in the defense of Cuman territory during the conflictive 18th century; where the Hispanic Bourbon dynasty at a high political, financial and military cost, managed to increase its power in America.

The establishment of the French empire under the aegis of Napoleon Bonaparte and the inability of the Hispanic Monarchy to face this new rival, led to its destruction; followed by the definitive fracture of the Hispanic-peninsular and Hispanic-American communities that for three centuries had been part of the dejected Hispanic colossus.

These two communities settled on both shores of the Atlantic Ocean, previously dragged serious clashes in the cultural field, economic and political; result of its development in territories with disparate characteristics that generated different visions of how to face the new challenges that the 19th century presented.

The intransigence of both parts of the Hispanic world (American and European), resulted in a bloody military confrontation, which gave rise to the current Hispanic American nations; In this merciless struggle, the Casa de Sucre stood out, embracing the independence cause and whose greatest exponent was Antonio José de Sucre, the greatest of all Simón Bolívar's generals and a key actor in the formation of Gran Colombia.

The cumanés, of enormous military and administrative capacity, led the liberating campaign in the Royal Audience of Quito, the Viceroyalty of Peru and the Royal Audience of Charcas; defeating the Spanish forces after hard battles such as Yaguachi, Pichincha, Junín and Ayacucho, the latter being the one that closed the Hispanic cycle in South American territory.

Faced with the reality of the factional struggle that was destroying the work of the Liberator, he was forced to face the invasion of Peru to the Quito territories that made up the Southern District of Gran Colombia; managing to win in the Portete de Tarqui, ensuring the future of the Quito Nation.

His subsequent efforts in favor of grancolombiana unity, put him in the sights of different political groups that sought to secure their new areas of power through the separation of the North, Central and South Districts of Gran Colombia; Therefore, through tortuous stratagems, they promoted the assassination of General Antonio José de Sucre on June 4, 1830 in Berruecos, dying with him the last hope of unity between Quito, Venezuelans and New Granadans.
