A man went to Jerez and Seville when these cities belonged to the Moors.
He was arrested and accused [of treason] because he had gone there without orders. He was sentenced to stoning.
As he was being stoned, he cried out to the Virgin. He asked her to spare him so that he could make confession.
His accusers could not harm him, although they pelted him with stones, struck him with a javelin and cut his throat.
He called for a priest and one was summoned. He told the priest that he had always served the Virgin and that she had never failed him. Then he died.
Although he had just shaved his beard that day in the town of Alcalá de Guadaira, the dead man’s beard began to grow. Neither bird nor beast would eat him for anything.
