Count of Villahermosa
"In July 30, 1854 after having been defeated at Vicálvaro (Madrid), the Count of Villahermosa came into Madrid with a parade wielding as a trophy the spear of an enemy soldier. Madrilenos sarcastically nicknamed him “Longinos” for this ostentation (like the Roman soldier, Longinus, whose spear is said to have pierced Christ's side)." I'm confused as to what this has to do with the Puerta de Alcalá. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.58.205.56 (talk) 01:37, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
