[edit] Which Cochrane?

"Maranhão did not join in the Brazilian declaration of independence of 1822, but in the following year the Portuguese were driven out by Admiral Lord Cochrane"

Alexander_Cochrane or Thomas_Cochrane,_10th_Earl_of_Dundonald? Both were naval officers sometimes active in Brazilian affairs.
