Description: The illustration represents the story of Diego García de Paredes as told by the priest to the innkeeper while discussing chivalric novels. Diego was a native of the city of Trujillo and a courageous soldier. So strong that with one finger he could stop a millwheel as it turned, he once brought an immense army to a halt with a broadsword at the entrance to a bridge. Signed by G. Doré (illustrator) and H.-J. Pisan (engraver). Part 1, ch. 32.
