EL CID
Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (c. 1043 – 10 July 1099) was a Castilian knight and ruler in medieval Spain. Fighting both with Christian and Muslim armies during his lifetime, he earned the Arabic honorific as-Sayyid ("the Lord" or "the Master"), which would evolve into El Çid (Spanish: [el ˈθið], Old Spanish: [el ˈts̻id]), and the Spanish honorific El Campeador ("the Champion"). He was born in Vivar, a village near the city of Burgos.
As the head of his loyal knights, he came to dominate the Levante of the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the 11th century. He reclaimed the Taifa of Valencia from Moorish control for a brief period during the Reconquista, ruling the Principality of Valencia from 17 June 1094 until his death in 1099. His wife, Jimena Díaz, inherited the city and maintained it until 1102 when it was reconquered by the Moors.
Díaz de Vivar became well known for his service in the armies of both Christian and Muslim rulers. After his death, El Cid became Spain's most celebrated national hero and the protagonist of the most significant medieval Spanish epic poem, El Cantar de mio Cid, which presents him as the ideal medieval knight: strong, valiant, loyal, just, and pious.

There are various theories on his family history, which remains uncertain; however, he was the grandfather of García Ramírez de Pamplona, King of Navarre, the first son of his daughter Cristina Rodríguez. To this day, El Cid remains a popular Spanish folk hero and national icon, with his life and deeds remembered in popular culture.

ReplyDeleteExtraordinary compilation now brought to us by Jens Terje, to whom we give our greetings and sincere thanks...🖖🏻😎
Yes, also to the administrators of Old-Fashion Comics - Andrew and Anthea 🥰 -, because they make it possible!
As for Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, his historical presence swings between reality and myth as a character: The truth is that all we know about him is what he has bequeathed to us - mainly - ‘El Cantar del Mío Cid’, which is the plot basis of almost all the comix in the collection contributed by Jens Terje....
Certainly, El Cid is a symbol in the unification of the Christian kingdoms of ancient Iberia ( here it is worth not using the term ‘reconquest’ because Spain will not be one until the beginning of the 15th century ), a process that was not easy and that took centuries to come to fruition.
But just as important is that ‘El Cantar del Mío Cid’ was the cornerstone and the first record of what has become the Castilian language, which today is the instrument of verbal and written communication of more than half a billion speakers around the world.
Enjoy your reading, friends of Old-Fashion Comics 🧐.
