Sinossi

A minstrel narrates the burial in a grove of a young woman whose body protrudes an unburied hand, as a sign of her fiancé's failure to make her his wife. Upon hearing this story, a count went to the minstrel to ask him where that story was told. Upon learning from the troubadour that she was originally from Gómara, in the province of Soria, the nobleman became livid, a sign that the minstrel interpreted as meaning that the story told affected him personally. Indeed, according to the testimony collected by the narrator among the residents of the town, the count returned to his land and, with special permission from the pope, a priest married the couple, after which the hand disappeared forever under the earth
