Description
The Poem of the Cid is one of the finest epic poems to have survived from medieval Spain. Written in a forceful combination of heroic fiction and historical fact, it tells the story of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, a warlord and nobleman who seethes with the restless spirit of Castille.
The poem recounts the Cid's unjust banishment from court, his victorious campaigns in Valencia, and the crowning of his daughters as queens of Aragon and Navarre. This epic tale sings of universal human values, making it one of the greatest works of Spanish literature.
