mantenerse en sus trece
  19

Also be, follow, continue or stand in your thirteen. To defend with passion and even stubbornly an ideological or other position with a combative and persevering attitude. The expression has a disputed origin. Some say it comes from the attitude of Pope Luna, Benedict XIII, who did not want to resign despite pressures during the Western schism. They say that in Peníscola he used to repeat: Papa sum et XIII .
