Beschreibung:
1043 - 1099 AD: Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, known as El Cid (the Lord) or El Campeador (Master of the Battlefield), was a Castilian knight and medieval Spanish ruler. Born in Vivar near Burgos, he fought for both Christian and Muslim armies. He dominated the Levante (Eastern) region of the Iberian Peninsula in the late 11th century, briefly ruling the Taifa of Valencia from 1094 until his death in 1099. His wife, Jimena Díaz, held Valencia until it was recaptured by the Moors in 1102. Renowned for his loyalty and valor, El Cid is celebrated as Spain's national hero and the subject of the epic poem "El Cantar de mio Cid," which portrays him as the ideal knight.Zugefügt zum Band der Zeit:
