At least two eminent historians of te«> seventeenth century refer to this story of a bell then in use in the village of Villila, in Aragon. During the process of casting this bell one of the 30 pieces of silver paid to Judas Iscariot was melted down with the metal. This accident caused the bell, after it had been hung, to develop a habit of ringing entirely of its own volition, which miraculous occurrence was said always to presaga some national disaster, war, or a death in the Royal Family. Both writers agree that the bell rang, by itself, for three days without ceasing from Thursday, June 13. to Saturday, June 15, 1601, but boih omit to record any unusual happening, subsequently thereby straining readercredulily to breaking point.
