Carol Ap Rhys Pryce

Carol Ap Rhys Pryce was a Welshman and soldier of fortune most noted for his role in the 1911 Magoista rebellion in Baja California.

Pryce took over the command of the foreign legion in the rebellion after the slaying of its previous commander Stanley Williams. Pryce forced the property owners of the Mexicali region to contribute to his armies operations. On May 9th, 1911 Pryce and his soldiers took control of Tijuana in a battle with Government Troops. Here he also instituted a regime of taxes and customs duties. With the resignation of Porfirio Diaz as president of Mexico, Pryce resigned his command of the foreign legion in the face of Flores Magon's refusal to accept the Treaty of Ciudad Juarez.
