El Cantar de mio Cid 'The Song of my Cid' (~1140 and ~1207) (1 Jan 1140 Jahr – 1 Jan 1207 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

~1140 and ~1207 AD: El Cantar de mio Cid (lit. 'The Song of my Cid', or 'The Song of my 'lord') is the oldest surviving Castilian epic poem. Based on a true story, it recounts the adventures of the Castilian hero Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar - known as El Cid - and takes place in the eleventh century, a period of conflict in the Iberian Peninsula between the Kingdom of Castile and various Taifa principalities of Al-Andalus. It is considered a national epic of Spain. Some consider El Cantar de mio Cid to be the inspiration for Don Quixote, since the novel is a parody whose main purpose is to mock the conventions of medieval chivalric romance.
