- He was born Rodrigo (or Ruy) Díaz de Vivar. Vivar being the town where he was born. It is near Burgos. He was born either in 1040 or 1043. Historians are not sure of the date. He died in Valencia in 1099. His name, "El Cid" was given to him by the Moors. In the mixture of the Spanish and Arabic language they used, they called him "As-Sid" (Lord or Chief). This was pronounced by the Spaniards as "El Cid", but they themselves actually called him "Campeador" (Champion)

RIP John Fraser (King Alphonso) great scene, great character.
The epicness of this movie gets me everytime! Heston is absolutely amazing!
Visited the Cathedral and saw the burial crypt of Rodrigo, Ximeena and their son. Walking through the gates was like the scene shown. Awesome.
Back when movies were EPIC!
Very powerful scene in the the history of cinema!
Great movie! One of my all time favourites!
“ can a man live without honor?”❤
Though the oath at Santa Gadea is most likely a pleasant fiction that came from the romances that grew around the original Poema, this scene is a personal favorite of mine.
My maternal grandfather and a paternal great-uncle by marriage were senators of the old Cuban Republic. My grandfather threw a political associate out of his house who was trying to involve him in something shady. The great-uncle denounced Batista from the senate floor even as the latter’s tanks were surrounding the senate building.
I have the greatest respect for anybody who, at personal risk or cost, confronts power in the name of what is right.
Hollywood, please learn a lesson from this flick: medieval art and clothing were bright, lively, and colorful, not drab, dreary, and washed-out. Also, medieval religion was Very Serious Business, not an embarrassing or ridiculous punchline.
Historically: Rodrigo was compelled by his Office -Lieutenant of the Royal Guard- to administer the oath of innocence
I always thought it annoying how Alfonso was so pissed off at him. If he didn't do it, doubt and dissension would have weakened the kingdoms and left them vulnerable to conquest. Plus, by saying he had nothing to do with Sancho's death, he has won the support of the people.
@@SapphireCrusader1988 The movie is just a movie, don't learn history from Hollywood. In real life Don Rodrigo was "Alguacil Mayor" of Castile, sort of Secretary of Justice. His 'issue' with Alfonso went far beyond the mystery of the death of King Sancho. They live when the caliphate of Cordova dismembers into its different provinces, that become kingdoms. It dismembered due to the radical Islamic terrorist policies of the Wizir, gen. Almansur and his son, who both controlled the puppet caliph Hishem II. The regional emirs were sick of it, and seceded. Alfonso was planning an alliance with the Moorish king of Toledo, to gain access to the Mediterranean. When Alfonso banished Rodrigo, he became the Field Marshal for the Moorish Emir of Zaragoza. (it was at Zaragoza where he was christened "Campeador" al-Kampyatur an Arabization of Spanish Latin "Campi Doctor" -Field Marshal. But then, the vacuum left by the collapse of Cordova, meant that the even more radical Islamisis, the Almoravid Berbers of Sultan Taxufin of Morocco and the Maghreb, invaded the Muslim occupied lands. This meant terrible massacres for Christians, Jews and normal Muslims. Out of fear of the Almoravids, the Emir of Zaragoza fired Rodrigo, who was free to go to Valencia with an alliance of peoples of the 3 Faiths to stop the Almoravid invasion. Which he did, in Valencia... but not the rest of the Coast. Rodrigo was famous all over Europe and the Muslim world as "the only man in the world, capable of stopping and defeating that horrible onslaught by the half moon". His only son (he had two daughters as well) David Rodriguez (Rodrick's son) died in battle against the Almoravids. GOD KNOWS that right now we need another Rodrigo in Spain and Europe... and another Charles V, and another ..and another... and another...
Just look at the swearing scene: who needs the magna carta???? xD
Emil S Still one of the best scenes in the movie.
Back in the day, a person would’ve believed he had condemned himself to an eternity in hell for swearing falsely on the Bible. No wonder Alfonso sounded rather hoarse.
@@justinneill5003 Alfonso really was not guilty.
When an oath meant something!
Those of us who are not Muslims.
El Cid's gone too far this time! Banished from the land, and all his property and servants seized by the state.
VIVAEL CID CAMPEADOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Una adaptacion interesante
pero vale la pena para el cine culto.
It is still a good movie, even if it's historically inaccurate. By the way, all caps means you're yelling & no one listens to a screamer. Ibntomort's point would've been better made if presented in a clear, rational & calm manner.
King Alfonso in a scene where he is not yet fully matured as a King likely dominated by his manipulative sister Urraca who displayed more than a sister's love for her younger brother. Curious in later years, Urraca the Queen never married that I know of nor had children unless illegitimate.
is that king having an affair with his own sister, like his older's brother said that he cuddle his sister.
The Movie is wrong: After being banished in 1081, Count García Ordoñez, misportrayed in the film, substitutes Cid as Leutenant of the Guards. Free from his vassal duties in Castile, Cid went to still Muslim Zaragoza, where he served Emir al-Muqtadir and then his son Emir Al-Mu´tamin. King Alfonso reinstated Rodrigo and gave new lands in 1086.
This Movie is historically false: enjoy it as a movie, don;t argue as history
😂
lol stop saying your experience in age of empire 2 in pc lol get a book you will know the true history instead playing rts
shes fine... but she old enuff to be my grandma
@Ibntomort and the killing of civilians on both sides??? was that justified? through the ages Islam and Christianity have killed and killed all in the name of. So is murder less of a murder if it is justified????
