Cantiga CSM 326 of the Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X
The Thieves who Stole Beehives
Folio 32 recto of codex Florencia Ms Banco Rari 20
Many pilgrims go to Tudia to make generous offerings to the Virgin.
A man offered his beehives so that the church would have plenty of wax and honey.
The beehives were placed behind the church and guarded by a poor woman.
One night, some thieves came and stole the hives.
When the people discovered that they were missing, they asked Mary to avenge the crime.
A knight, who was a magistrate, came to Tudia. He ordered the thieves to be pursued. He set off to catch them, and found them hiding with the beehives.
