General Jose de San Martin was a bit of a monarchist, and while he was Protector of Peru from 1821-1822 he actively promoted a monarchial form of government for Peru. He sent out agents to attempt to get a prince of the Spanish royal family, and failing that, get the Duke of Suffolk as the recipient of the Peruvian crown.

While these agents failed in finding a king, if they found an accepting candidate, could San Martin convince the Peruvians to accept the king? And if he is successful, will the monarchy last?
