The State of Haiti (, ) was the name of the state in northern Haiti. It was created on October 17 , 1806 following the assassination of Emperor Jacques I and the overthrow of the First Empire of Haiti. The northern State of Haiti was ruled by Henri Christophe originally as Provisional Chief of the Haitian Government from October 17 , 1806 until February 17 , 1807 when he became President of the State of Haiti. The 1807 constitution for the State of Haiti made the post of president a position for life with the president having the power to appoint his successor. On March 28 , 1811 President Henri was proclaimed King Henri I, thereby dissolving the State of Haiti and creating the Kingdom of Haiti. On October 8 , 1804, Dessalines is crowned emperor in Cap-Haitian under the name of Jacques I. But very quickly, some generals, ambitious to take power, set up a plot against the emperor who was finally killed by General Alexandre Pétion's men in an ambush on October 17 , 1806, at the Pont-Rouge (at the entrance to Port-au-Prince), betrayed by one of his battalion leaders. During this period, the French who remained in the eastern part of the island were defeated by the Hispanic-Creole inhabitants, under the command of Juan Sánchez Ramírez, at the battle of Palo Hincado on November 7 , 1808. The French surrender in the eastern part of the island took place in Santo Domingo on July 9 , 1809. The authorities then re-established the Spanish colony. Having established a certain stability, Christophe established a constitutional monarchy with him as monarch. He became King of Haiti on March 28 , 1811, under the name of Henry I. On June 2 , 1811, he was crowned by the Grand Archbishop Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Brelle.
