	El Cid (1961)
		El Cid's sword "Tizona" can still be seen in the Army Museum (Museo Del Ejército) in Madrid.
		And in 1999, a small sample of the blade underwent metallurgical analysis which partially confirmed that it was made in Moorish Cordoba in the eleventh century, although the report does not specify whether the larger-scale composition of the blade identifies it as Damascus steel.
		In 2006 "El Museo Del ejercito" (The Army Museum) was moving from Madrid to Toledo and apparently the sword was not available to be seen in public.

	Channel 4 - History - Film review: El Cid (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Charlton Heston’s Cid is a towering and talismanic figure – the perfect chivalric knight, devoted to his wife and children, a magnificent warrior, unerringly true to his word and merciful to his opponents.
		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.
		El Cid was a part of this world, and the film is correct to show him having Muslim allies, even though it carefully omits the numerous occasions when he acted for Muslim paymasters against Christians.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: El Cid
		He was given the title of seid or cid (lord, chief) by the Moors and that of campeador (champion) by his admiring countrymen.

		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.

	'El Cid'
		"El Cid" is a film in which things happen either very quickly or very slowly, but always grandly -- the costumes are lavishly colorful, the sets spectacular, the crowds huge, the passions extreme.
		Within the first 10 minutes, Rodrigo has defeated and captured those Moors, pardoned them on a promise never to invade again (thus being dubbed El Cid, Moorish for "one who is both compassionate and a great warrior"), and continued on his journey to wed the luscious Chimene (Sophia Loren).

		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.
		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.

		El Cid, que había lanceado con entusiasmo en el saludo, comprobó lo complicado que fue el toro en banderillas, queriéndole quitar "los palos" a los subalternos.

		El "cuadri" quiso imponer mil veces su mal estilo, rematando todos los viajes con la cara por las nubes, aunque pudo más la firmeza y excelente disposición de Uceda, presente en todo momento y con la muleta como un látigo.
