Summary edit

Description
English: The painting "St. Narcissus and the Flies" from the Church of St. Felix in Girona (Catalonia, Spain). According to an old legend, during the siege of Girona in 1285 by the French troops, thousands of huge poisonous flies flew out of the defiled tomb of Saint Narcís. They attacked the enemy army, stinging everyone in a row - horses, soldiers and nobles, inflicting crushing damage on the enemy. Half of the troops and even the French king Philip III, who led them, died, and the army was forced to retreat from Girona.

Según una antigua leyenda, durante el sitio de Girona en 1285 por las tropas francesas, miles de enormes moscas venenosas salieron volando de la tumba profanada de San Narciso.

La mitad de las tropas e incluso el rey francés Felipe III, que las dirigía, murieron y el ejército se vio obligado a retirarse de Girona.

Согласно старинной легенде во время осады Жироны в 1285 году французскими войсками тысячи огромных ядовитых мух вылетели из оскверненной могилы Святого Нарцисса. Они набросились на неприятельскую армию, жаля всех подряд – лошадей, солдат и дворян, нанеся врагу сокрушительный урон. Половина войска и даже возглавлявший их французский король Филипп III погибли, и армия были вынуждены отступить от Жироны.
