The Count of Poitiers expelled some monks of Chateauroux from their monastery. The monastery was taken over by rogues and gamblers.
A woman came to the monastery to pray to a statue of the Virgin in the sacristy.
One of the gamblers mocked her and threw a stone at the statue. The stone broke the arm of the Christ Child, but the Virgin caught the limb.
Blood flowed from the wound and the Virgin bared her breasts.
Demons carried off the gambler who had thrown the stone, and his flesh was eaten by two of his demon-possessed companions. They then drowned in a river.
The Count and his men visited the monastery. One of the knights had a stone lodged in his jaw and prayed for it to be removed. He coughed up the stone and it was placed on the altar.
