'''Antonio de Otermín''' was the [[Spanish governors of New Mexico|Spanish Governor]] of the northern [[New Spain]] province of [[Santa Fe de Nuevo México]], today the [[U.S. states]] of [[New Mexico]] and [[Arizona]], from 1678 to 1682.
Popé's forces besieged [[Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe]], surrounding the city and cutting off its water supply. Otermín, barricaded in the [[Palace of the Governors]], called for a general retreat, and on September 21 the Spanish settlers streamed out of the capital city headed for [[Ciudad Juárez]], then called ''El Paso del Norte''. In 1680, he, along with [[Fray Francisco de Ayeta]] founded [[La Misión de Corpus Christi de San Antonio de la Ysleta del Sur]] in [[Ysleta, Texas]]. In 1681 Otermín attempted to return to New Mexico, burning both [[Isleta Pueblo]] (which had not taken part in the revolt) and [[Sandia Pueblo]]. He returned to El Paso with some prisoners, but little else. <ref>Sando, Joe S. and Herman Agoyo, ‘’Po’pay: Leader of the First American Revolution’’ Clear Light Publishing, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 2005 p. 40 </ref> ▼
