| Setting: | Aragón | Protagonist(s): | a nobleman and his hawk |
|
A nobleman from Aragón lost his goshawk while hunting. The bird was large, handsome and skilled at catching birds, both large and small. The nobleman was distressed and sent a proclamation throughout the land. Then he took a wax model of the bird to Salas. He asked the Virgin to return his bird and vowed to serve her and to tell of her pre-eminence among the saints. He attended mass, but before he departed, the Virgin made the goshawk alight on his hand. With tears in his eyes, he praised the Virgin. |
