Bridge of the Honorable Passo

  

 

 

 

 

The famous bridge of Hospital of Órbigo. That that Don Serum defends ago but of 5 centuries and silent witness of the step of the time of this no less famous earth.


Monolith

  



August 9 1951 are restored the bridge of the Órbigo and this commemorative monolith of the most famous is placed made of weapons of the Half Age. On the stone, they are pointed out the names of all the gentlemen that, in the president's gift Serum union, they broke the 300 lances to those that the Count's Moon son committed. And these they were:

 

DON SUERO DE QUIÑONES 

Lope de Estúñiga

Diego de Bazán 

Pedro de Nava 

Suero Gómez 

Sancho de Rabanal 

López de Aller 

Diego de Benavides 

Pedro de Ríos 

Gómez de Villacorta.

 

Neither that to say has the importance and the resonance that he/she had this feat of Chivalry in the XV century. Let us only think, until Cervantes in "Don Cuisse of the Stain" makes mention to this fact of weapons: "... they say that they were jeers the Fair of Serum Quiñones of the Passo, the companies of Luis of Faces against gift Gonzalo of Guzmán, Castilian gentleman, with other many feats made by Christian, so authentic and true gentlemen that lathe to say that the one that the denies it would lack all reason and good speech." That gift Cuisse said when referring to the gentleman leonés.

 

Gentlemen of all the parts of the Christian world arrived. In the 30 days that the fair ones last, they fight, with the 10 presidents, no more, no less that 68 adventurers, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Spaniards,... Berrueta tells us that "some came impelled by the noble humor, others for the envy, some for the hate and some for the desire of putting an end to gift's Serum life, the gentleman always nobleman and good... ". Ladies of high lineage that make to punish and to suffer their gentlemen that should fight to recover it to rescue their glove happen. Gift passes Gutierre of Jaw that years later, it will kill to gift Serum and it will avenge this way its hate toward the young Quiñones.

 

They lapse the days between parties and tournaments without nobody it suffered damages. The powerful family of the Moon didn't repair in expenses so that its paladin, gift Serum could carry out the biggest chivalry feat that you/they knew those times... and surje the tragedy: when arriving him the shift to the Aragonese gentleman Esberto of Claramonte, gift's Serum lance Gómez "entrole for the eye until the brains... " killing him at once. It was the only mournful fact of the Passo. All this and much more it represents this monjón that leaves in two our dear Bridge.
