| | El Cid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While he was deeply suspected in Castile (probably correctly) for being involved in Sancho's murder, According to the epic of El Cid the Castillian nobility, led by the Cid and a dozen "oath-helpers", forced Alfonso to swear publicly in front of St. | | | Around this time, the Cid, with a combined Christian and Moorish army, began maneuvering in order to create his own fiefdom in the Moorish Mediterranean coastal city of Valencia. | | | Valencia was captured by Masdali on May 5, 1109 and would not become a Christian city again for over 125 years. |

| | Channel 4 - History - Film review: El Cid |
| | The Cid’s generosity to some of his Muslim opponents and his alliances with local Muslims against other, more fundamentalist Islamic armies are based on fact, and are not the result of an early Hollywood attempt at political correctness or a sense of hopeless idealism. | | | Perhaps more importantly, El Cid makes a fair attempt to recognise the importance of religious motivation for all the combatants, something often left out of films of the medieval period. | | | Furthermore, it was entirely commonplace for local groups of Christians and Muslims jointly to fight other Christians and Muslims. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: El Cid |
| | But whatever may have been the real adventures of El Cid Campeador, his name has come down to us in modern times in connection with a long series of heroic achievements in which he stands out as the central figure of the long struggle of Christian Spain against the Moslem hosts. | | | History paints him as a free booter, an unprincipled adventurer, who battled with equal vigour against Christians and Moors; who, to further his own ends, would as soon destroy a Christian church as a Moslem temple; who plundered and slew as much for his own gain as from any patriotic motives. | | | But in time of necessity his assistance was sought by Alfonso, and in the midst of career of conquest he hastened to the latter's support when he was hard pressed by Yusuf, the founder of Morocco. |

| | In other words, El Cid said adios to defending all of Christian Spain (what was left of it, that is) in favor of his own piece of the action. | | | The Cid was quickly elevated to the status of national hero of Castile and a complex heroic biography of him, in which legend played a dominant role, came into existence. | | | I know of no other Christian who has ever held such a post. |

| | And there were those who said that his face changed colour, because the words brought before him his brother's terrible end; but there were others who knew that it was anger against the Cid that troubled his blood so that it ran to his face. | | | His loyalty had not snapt at the thread, and he had upheld Don Sancho in the matter, as well as in all else, when he had perceived the King's purpose to be unchanged. | | | For my Cid had been counsellor to Don Sancho, and Don Sancho had rid Don Alfonso of his kingdom with but scant ceremony. |

| | Almoravid domination was a period of artistical renaisance, but also of religious intolerance: Jews were expelled towards the Christian Kingdoms, and many Mozarabs (Christians who lived at Moslem countries) had to follow them. | | | But León, as heir of the ancient Hispanic-Gothic kingdom could claim for its supremacy over the other Iberian countries, so Sancho thought he should have heired it, and looked for the confrontation with his brothers. | | | Nevertheless, he had immediatly to start his defence works against the Almoravid threath. |

| | The Cid was rescued from fiction by the Spanish Scholar Ramon Menendez Pidal, who devoted the entirety of his long life to uncovering the historical Cid and in portraying the Spain in which he lived. | | | Although the Cid accomplished the remarkable feats of capturing the rich Muslim kingdom of Valencia and holding it as his own, and being the first of the Christian leaders to defeat the Almoravides, a warlike band of zealots from North Africa, the poem concentrates upon his relationship with King Alfonso VI of Leon-Castile. | | | The Cid became a universal hero to the Spanish, and his history was elaborated by numerous ballads, legends, and other tales until the historical figure was completely obscured by this fanciful literature. |

| | Review: El Cid |
| | Diaz, called El Cid by his followers, became a living legend, and this film willingly expands upon every myth associated with the actual historical figure. | | | Diaz is the hero, and he does all the superhuman things expected from a knight "with God on [his] side." El Cid turns more often to the ridiculous than the sublime. | | | The story of El Cid tells of Rodrigo Diaz (Charlton Heston), a Castilian knight in 1060 Spain who fought to keep his country from the brink of civil war so that it could defend itself against the threat posed by the North African Moors. |
