The year was 1199 when, in midsummer, came into the world Mancha region which was to become the Holy Fernando III, King of Castile and Leon ended up throwing out the Moors of the river Guadalquivir. And emphasize the epithet, the Holy , because people have the habit of disposing of it for the sake of a misunderstood secularism or a blatant repudiation of everything that smacks of saints, something similar to what happens with local neorrepublicanos when speaking of the Fortress instead of the Alcazar. What is striking is that they deny him his nickname Fernando III have no hesitation in awarding himself Alfonso I the Battler , Henry IV the Impotent or Charles II the Bewitched even though, now , quarter and half are over the line there that have marked the goodism and politically correct - in these times should be, respectively, Alfonso I the peace operations , Henry IV the erectile dysfunction and Carlos II ... let's leave it at that of the chromosome abnormality - .
Well, it appears that in the very noble, very loyal, very heroic and Mariana Sevilla City has spent Olympian terrestrial matter is the fact that it was blue blood running through veins that wrested the city from the Moors in 1248 as Ferdinand III Holy known as San Fernando, which besides being the patron saint of the city. You ask at any location by Fernando III and, if the respondent responds willingly, they say that is normal, Vettel and Weber are intractable - although are now the foreigners who are holding a great time - , or will say, if you get caught with a desire to banter, yes, that Fernando Torres third, and Xabi Alonso World Cup top scorer, will you know. Now, ask for San Fernando. Try it and see no Seville who do not know the deeds of the holy king, whose incorrupt body is preserved in the Royal Chapel of the Holy, Metropolitan and Patriarchal Cathedral of Seville, and not give you a rough estimate of the zillions thousand Moors that he alone ordered to another ward during the Reconquista. Nevertheless
representing San Fernando for the city and its inhabitants, there were some fools who decided using the pattern image to grace: remember the team badge of the Road of Cadiz that mysteriously appeared in the finishing layer holy king the year in which the Sevilla FC celebrated the centenary of its foundation, which is why which the cover of that edition Fair was dedicated to team Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán - San Fernando is represented in the coat of this football club and, therefore, was on that cover, with the representation that the intrusion suffered perpetrated by the purslane - .
Such acts do not usually have good consequences. May not guarde ninguna relación con lo ocurrido en la Feria de aquel año pero el caso es que desde aquellas fechas las criaturitas están que no levantan cabeza. De ahí que ya se estén planteando que todos los pesares y malos momentos por los que están pasando no sean más que las consecuencias de una hipotética venganza de San Fernando que, harto del cachondeo que se traían los del semiestadio con nombre de manolitaria , hubiese decidido mandarles desde el más allá una serie de plagas para que pagaran en vida los pecados que en vida habían cometido.
