	OMACL: The Lay of the Cid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Lay of the Cid is a translation of the Cantar del mio Cid, a poem written in the mid-twelfth century about the Castilian Hero, Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar, and relating events from his exile from Castile in 1081 until shortly before his death in 1099.
		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 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.

	Schulers Books (The Lay of the Cid - 1/24)
		The importance of the Cid as Spain's bulwark against the Moors of the eleventh century is exceeded by his importance to his modern countrymen as the epitome of the noble and vigorous qualities that made Spain great.
		This is the epic Cid who in the last quarter of the eleventh century was banished by Alphonso VI of Castile, fought his way to the Mediterranean, stormed Valencia, married his two daughters to the Heirs of Carrión and defended his fair name in parliament and in battle.
		Let us look at the Cid for a moment as he was seen by a Latin chronicler who confesses that the purpose of his modest narrative was merely to preserve the memory of the Cid of history.

	OMACL: The Lay of the Cid: Cantar I
		The Cid was warned upon his guard to be, For the King said, if thereafter he should find him in the land, Then neither gold nor silver should redeem him from his hand.
		My lord the Cid determined with all his men of war That there within the castle they would abide no more, And that they would have held it, but that water sore it lacked: "Ye Moors are friendly to the King; even so runs the pact, With his host will he pursue us.
		LVIII When thus the Cid had spoken, were all in good array; They had taken up their weapons and each had got to horse.

		The Cid did not like the match and told the king that he would not marry them so himself, but that he would give them to the king, his lord, to be married honorably.
		Alfonso had clearly dishonored the Cid's daughters by marrying them so far beneath their real worth since he had handed them over to the young men of a noble Leonese family when they were actually of a status to be sought by kings equal to himself.
		When Alfonso and the Cid approach the Guadalquivir for their reconciliation conference, the Cid is so overcome by the sight of his lord that he throws himself from his horse, and rolls on the ground eating grass like an animal.

		Like many feudal epics, _The Lay of the Cid_ portrays the breakdown of the vassal-lord relationship due to some shortcoming of the lord, the manner in which the vassal attempts to deal with this situation, and reaches a climax and resolution in a detailed account of a formal trial.

	WHKMLA : History of Spain, El Cid
		The title hero, RODRIGO DE VIVAR, was a Castilian nobleman who, according to the legend, throughout his lifetime lived a life of adventure, fighting for the good against the evil, according to the medieval ideal of knighthood.
		El Cid pictures a society in which nobility had a dominant function.
		DON QUIXOTE, written in the 16th century, is little more than a persiflage of El Cid, the story of a knight trying to emulate the Cid in a society which did not need knights any more.
