Summary of narrative | |||
Setting: | Seville | Protagonist(s): | Bonamic, a scribe of the King [Alfonso X] |
Bonamic, a scribe of the king, had a horse that lay dying. He was very upset. He vowed that if Santa Maria do Porto would cure his horse, he would give her a wax one. The horse seemed to be dead and beyond hope. The Virgin, however, caused it to recover. The horse got up right away and ate a lot of barley. |
