The Legend of Sanchicorrota

Page 2: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

My name is Pedro Guinea but I am known to many people as Malasombra-the outlaw. For a time I was the slave of Juan II the king of Navarre in the royal palace of Tudela. My job was to taste all the food and drinks for the king. The food like roast game was very good but sometimes it was poisoned by the king’s enemies and I used to get sick and dizzy.

One day the king wanted to eat lentils. I didn’t like lentils. I tried a teaspoon closing my eyes. That very moment I imagined an ugly lentil with a moustache that wanted to kiss me. ‘Pouh’ I shouted spitting it out in the king’s face. The king got angry and said ‘Cut off his head!’.

His soldiers put me in chains.

We joined a caravan with wine, food and jewel carriages and lots of soldiers to protect the booty from the bands of thieves. Many times the thieves would attack the villages around Bardenas.

Page 6: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

Suddenly one of the soldiers shouted something and we were in a cloud of dust. When the dust settled the soldiers were gone and instead of them we saw 29 ugly outlaws wearing masks. ‘You are free now’ said the chief of the outlaws breaking the chain with his sword.

I was staring at him. He was red headed like a flame and almost 2 meters tall. He had arms like legs of hams and strange clothes covered with animal skins and a wolf head. Sanchicorrota looked at me and said: ‘You seem to be a valiant man. You could be a good outlaw. Do you want to join us?’

I shrugged my shoulders. I was a slave getting orders all the time. They didn’t let me choose. I didn’t think long and agreed. And so I was converted in one of Sanchicorrota’s 30 outlaws.

Our hideout was in Bardena Blanca, in a cave on the top of a mountain. It was in a hidden place but from there all the desert could be seen. The cave was like a castle dug in the rock.

The outlaws were poor people who didn’t want to starve or put up with things that weren’t right. They were peasants who had to give their crop to the king without getting anything instead or soldiers fed up to fight in wars that they didn’t understand.

So for us the real king was the king of Bardenas, Sanchicorrota.

Page 9: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

Sanchicorrota told me that his real name was Sancho, that being called Sanchico-little Sancho- was a joke because he was very big. He also told me that Rota comes from ‘errota’ which means mill in the Basque language. His family had a mill in Cascante and they had to give nearly all the flour to the king. One day he got angry and he couldn’t take it any longer. The king threw his parents in the dungeon so he decided to be an outlaw and fight for justice.

We would attack the caravans of the rich…

Page 11: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

and share the booty with the peasants and the inhabitants from the villages around Bardenas.

Page 12: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

They received us like kings celebrating and dancing in our honour.

Page 13: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

I would always go with Sanchicorrota and as I’ve got dark skin they called me `Shadow’. But the soldiers who wanted to catch me called me the `Bad Shadow’.

Page 14: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

Sanchicorrota was very clever. When the soldiers put posters saying `Sanchicorrota wanted. Reward 200 gold florines’ he would change them with other posters with the king’s face and a reward of 400 gold florines.

The soldiers were tracking us but they were always lost because Sanchicorrota had a trick. He would inverse the horseshoes so the marks would go in the opposite direction. He would laugh and say `They are not going to catch us ever’.

Unfortunately one day, when we had a fiesta…

Page 17: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

I saw Sanchicorrot

a!!!

a traitor let the soldiers know and quickly more than 100 men on horses started chasing us.

Page 18: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

We tried to escape but more and more soldiers turned up surrounding and attacking us until they thought we were all dead.

Page 19: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

I managed to escape by pretending to be dead. But out of the corner of my eye I could see Sanchicorrota running away and climbing the mountain.

Page 20: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

When he was at the top he yelled ‘You’ll never catch me alive!’. And he killed himself…

Page 21: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

The king’s soldiers were relieved that Sanchicorrota had died. Meanwhile I went to our cave and wept for hours together with the peasants of Bardenas whose laments were carried by the wind.

Page 22: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

For a time I was sad and stayed hidden but finally one day I made up my mind and said that I didn’t want to be a slave again. I disguised and went back to Bardenas. I recruited 30 new outlaws.

Page 23: The legend of sanchicorrota   low resolution

Together we decided to fight in Sanchicorrota’s honour defending all the humble men and women who wanted to be free.
