The third act of the comedy No hay mal que por bien no venga, or Don Domingo de don Blas, written by Juan Ruiz de Alarcón at the end of his life, is built on a tale —disappeared in Europe— in which an angel orders the King to steal, so he learns that he is to be killed. We can find Sephardic and Arab versions in Northern Africa; during the Middle Ages, it originated a poem about Charlemagne. Here it refers to an historical try to remove Alfonso III from the throne (X century).
