- 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)

My father is buried near the castle that appears at 2:38. The town is called Torrelobatón, and it is in the center of The Old Castille.
We must distinguish between the literary Cid and the historical Cid. Of the literary there is little to discuss, since it is based on a few written poems. That is the Cid that I prefer, because he chisels the prototype of the Castilian, of the frontiersman, accustomed to fighting for his land, oblivious to the ancient honor of the Asturians and Leonese, always faithful to his word and defender of the weak, rebellious and courteous to the other, stoic and tough, long-suffering and ascetic, unyielding and courageous.
The reciters passed through the villages of Castile in the Middle Ages and recited the verses of the Poem. In school, we learned those lines by heart. Thus was born Castile, land of my father and soul of Spain.
Dispite the Hollywood version of El Cid, the movie holds true to epic poem the Song of El CID. Also, most of the historical elements hold true. It's a great movie.
@themailman43 short answer yes. The Alomavides were conservative Muslims. They found their brother Muslims in Spain too liberal for their tastes so they took over. The meeting with ben Yusuf is stylized but the Spanish Moors asked for his help as the Christians were advancing. Thus the saying: better a camel herder in the Maghrib than a swine herder in Castile. Not all Spanish Moors sided with ben Yusuf as they got a better deal with Alphonso than with ben Yusuf.
MY FAVOURITE FILM OF ALL TIME
Not the best movie ever made but certainly the greatest. Has it all. God forgive anyone who tries to remake this epic.
Thanks for the upload of a great movie about a great man who did not judge a man by his religion but by his true faith.
Charleton Heston added another classic hit to his incredible career.
His wife Jimena remained as Ruler of Valencia for some years after Rodrigo's death, but the Almoravids were able to retake the city in 1105. Valencia remained a sovereign Muslim kingdom being reconquered by king James I of Aragon in 1238, when it became a sovereign Christian kingdom under the federal Crown of Aragon (Aragon, Valencia, Majorca, Sicily, Franch-Comté, Languedoc and Rousillon)
Herbert Lom was brilliant in this. We never see his whole face, just ferocious eyes. Excellent acting.
We now know, after 52 years of later comparisons, that this is the best film ever made.
Those of us who saw El Cid when it came out knew this then.
Saw this as a young child when it was released, one of the first movies I saw in a cinema( the first one was Taras Bulba). Needless to say, it impacted me for the rest of my life and after multiple viewings it still does.
11th Century Spain. What a time! A land torn between cultures, torn between religions, yet there was also bonding and a yearning to communicate with one another.
Constantine Joseph Yeah, in movies there was.
ShaNagmaImmuru Not really, there were Mozarabs and mixture and hybridization of art, architecture, literature, philosophy.
There was a time where Christians and Muslims worked and lived together peacefully for progress
Constantine Joseph Didn't El Cid initially unite the muslims and christians? When he was sent into exile and temporarily took control of a Moorish army?
Yes he did. He was neutral and that virtue he expressed was a true Christian value which is tolerating all kinds of people. However he was a kind of post Visigothic era dux or Duke that meant that he had his own army protected his own lands and did mostly to what he pleases as the authority is trusted on him by the King whom he pleaded fealty to.
Other than that he is more of a Duke who ran his own show. The Muslims in Córdoba were tolerant of Christians 100-200years prior to Cid and the Christian Visigoths in the MUslim Caliphate were treated well could learn and do viable business. Create art called Mozarabic art which had Eastern influence and Visigothic Germanic and Roman influences. Very unique.
I am very intrigued with Spain although I learnt a lot on Anglo Saxons, rome, Byzantine. Spain is a cauldron of the mixture of all civilizations in the meditteranean
Constantine Joseph this is writen by Serafin Fanjul and give a idea about the untrue tolerant behaviour of moors in Spain The ease with which the Arabs conquered the peninsula in 711 was not accompanied, according to Fanjul, an assimilation so obvious. 'The Arabs did not expect the ease of conquest. There was weakness in a system in which a minority caste of Germans dominated majority population that they should hispanorromans feel very willing to fight for them. The mass of the population was four or five million. Germanic dominant minorities began to integrate into the country after 200 years. It fell visigótic apparatus; But watch out, remained the ideological component 'he says.
'The personal names of Christians in the tenth and eleventh centuries remained predominantly Christian, indicating prestige. Just as today puts Vanessa or Samantha girls name because there is an Anglo-Saxon prestige. These Christians were going north when they could. Between the eighth and eleventh centuries were massive leaks Christians who settled in the north, "added the professor.
Fanjul also challenges one of the most established ideas among many scholars that Muslims of al-Andalus were Spanish. 'I doubt that for four centuries the great civilization of Al-Andalus has a presence in the life of Spain. Al-Andalus is a part of the history of Spain; but another thing that's Spain and that Muslims were Spaniards. Until the fifteenth century can't say there are Spanish. Muslims of Al-Andalus in any way were Spaniards because they had neither the intention nor the cultural characteristics of belonging to a cultural and political project that wasn't theirs. His project was Arab.
'Even the Moors in the sixteenth century felt a permanent hatred towards society around them. They were not Spaniards. That hatred can be justified by how badly they were treated. But the truth is they collaborated with pirates, they rebelled on more than one occasion and were a permanent fifth column. The Moors did not want to be Spanish 'he stresses. Fanjul summarizes his words exhaustively: 'Islam entered Spain and left Spain by force. It is the reality of history '.
The coexistence that many have praised Moors, Jews and Christians was not so, according to Fanjul. 'That alleged coexistence is taken for granted and made. And it wasn't. There was really basic problems. Religions are a factor of permanent conflict between humans. Racial problems will be over when there is an absolute fusion. The issue of religion is different. Not only pray that some one way and some another. The conflict occurs when that happens the social field. for example, when Christian women are forced to wear the veil.
Fanjul has a hard review for writers who idealize the Muslim past of the peninsula. 'Those who attempt this forced resurrection of Al-Andalus helps fuel an Andalusian irredentism that will benefit little by Andalusia and Spain. We have reached levels of freedom thanks to belonging to European culture and the Latin. Human rights, coexistence and the place of women in our society are issues that I am unwilling to give up, "he concludes.
If Muhammedans calls him as "The Lord", if Christians calls him as "The Champion" you can notice that he is great man, not only a leader.
Among our people we have a name for a warrior who has the vision to be just, the courage to be merciful. We call such a man "El Cid."
I never knew the common enemy of Spain was Inspector Dreyfus. Just kidding. Herbert Lom was a great actor and could play anything.
deriter64 He even played Attila the Hun in german movie - Das Nibelungenlied. Very nice piece also.
Then the Spaniards should have called in Inspector Clouseau. Maybe the conflict would have ended earlier.
I spanish come home El cid por favor we need you now
Unfortunately the dead do not come back to life. The Cid stepped up when no one else would do so. Perhaps you should step up and do like El Cid, rather than wait for the dead to come back.
Really good movie,a great classic
the original motion picture soundtrack came from the superb Miklos Roza. Ben Hur and many others to his incredible collection of this magnificent occupation that movies live by.
This movie is such an elegant classic !
This is in my top 10 favorite movies! Thanks for sharing!
@ last I found El Cid, which I have not seen in 45 yrs. Still 1 hell of a story!!! Love lost, Love won, battles lost and battles won!!!!
For God, Alphonso and Spain !!!
Omg, I am so glad I found this! You are awesome! :)
Excelente!!!! gracias!!
Really good moviem, a great classic...
Well this is my history homework...
I'm Spanish and,although he was a thief and kind of villain he became an icon in the Spanish history.he wasn't as loyal as many may think he was,but in the end of the day he gave his life for Spain and all what he did was forgotten.Viva El Cid,his horse (Babieca)which was buried with honours and which has a monolith to be remembered,and of course his sword(Tizona)which is in a museum in the Spanish city of Burgos.another spanish knight lived before el cid,Don Pelayo,check him out on internet.

thank u so much for uploading this.. i only hope some mulim bastard does not object and cause this to be withdrawn,,,, the cid is a beacon of light for all the world who believes in truth and right.. this should be a must see for children of every tongue and nation to understand the RIGHT way to be a man.. PLEASE do not stop this..
history is repeating itself, pray for Europe
It is a movie & I don't mean the el cid video. We create our own reality history is just manifestation, mostly just lies. Invert all belief & you begin to understand what is & is not. Terrorism is created by those it serves, there are no Isis & right wing extremists just the imagination of it is enough. Climate change nuclear war space the fake globe earth model. Frightening to find All you have believed is nonsense. That is why few find the way, as it is written. Few are those who find it
@@delamer-6379 Reality is not in your wheelhouse, is it?
Well done Spain.
By the way, Campeador is not Champion in 11th Century Castille. The original title he was given was "Campidoctoris" or "Campiductor", which means "Field Champion". "Field Champion" was a battlefield honour given only to Nobles or Alefrez's that had never lost a single battle. Rodrigo never lost a battle in his life.
Thank you!
I like the starting part. :-)
The time NYS the capacity of making things and this is beautiful story! 🤗😊💖✨
Good afternoon ,thanks a lot !!!
Not only he is Spains greatest hero he’s mine also we don’t have hero’s anymore in this world.🇪🇸
thank you Spain!
from 600AD to 1500 Spain was the cultural light of Western Europe, both Christian and Muslim lands. Both sides had freedom or religion, both sides protected each others' faithful, and mutual persecutions along 900 years are just a handful.They tried to concentrate in what united them: culture and learning; and not what separated them: politics. This openness included the Jews. Back and forth conversions between Islam and Christianity were voluntary.
I love it!!!
Miklós Rózsa's music; wild and spendid
The BBC won't like this.
Masterpiece
King Alfonso compensated Rodrigo marrying him to Royal blood: Jimena Díaz in 1074, great-granddaughter of King Alfonso V. Rodrigo repaid by serving the Sultan of Seville (an enemy of Castile) and was accused of disloyalty to the king, thus Alfonso VI banished Rodrigo in 1081 and broke his liege/vassal relationship. Rodrigo went to still Muslim Zaragoza to serve both Emir al-Muqtadir and his son Emir al-Mu'tamin.
Alfonso VI was defeated at the battle of Zalaca, and again gave called Don Rodrigo to his service and commissioned him several feudal domains in 1086. In this second stage Castile launched a Reconquest in the Eastern Regions, managing to make the Muslim kings of Albarracin and Valencia to pay tribute to Castile and conquered vast territories controlled by the Almoravids Muslims.
I kinda think bin laden took his cue from this first scene.
Rodrigo knows what he must do.
Super
If only it was that easy.
Though he died in bed in real life, not during the siege...Still, his seed produced great heroes that reconquered what his wife lost three years after he died. His daughters married the heirs to the throne of Navarre and Aragon. From this lines come King James the Conqueror of Aragon, who recovered Valencia from the muslims. Also Saint Ferdinand III of Castille and Saint Louis IX King of France.
How could you possibly cut out Miklos Rozsa's wonderful Prelude music?
700 years war plus another 300 of the noble Spanish Inquisition to rid invaders. That’s Spanish blood. Red war colour.
To the universe I beg; never remake this film. Let it stand.
We don’t have the actors ro do the job 🤗
@MStrat1106 And it didn't help that they dressed Ben Yusuf to look like Darth Vader!
1:55 Is it okay if I say that this man looks really cool?
how can i watch full movie.do any one have any link
I kinda think bin laden took his cue from this first scene. Haven't seen the movie yet but I've got a feeling both will end up the same way.
yes, 2 times. the film is pretty good but it is not very accurate
Thank God for Rodrigo in the reconquista because I am a Christian forever and ever and ever
good comment!
Apparently, Assad doesn't mean leader or chief but rather Lion.
No, actually Portugal was just another kingdom, the only one which retained their independence in the last moment (though they became temporarily part of a unified Spain = Hispania in the XVI century). The king Alfonso VI of Castille, Leon and Asturias, just because he was granted the crown of Leon and recovered the ancient Visigothic capital (Toledo), was in legal terms to sign his documents as "Imperator totius Hispaniae" as well as similar kind.
But he was exiled more than once, right?
@chrisman737 well spoken
When is any hollywood epic ever going to be accurate ?
So much for a religion of peace.
Some people are beyond their believes and their religions.
Listen to our new power metal song - el Cid
Again at odds with king Alfonso VI, Don Rodrigo was stripped of all privileges and again exiled. He entered the service of Muslim king of Valencia, under whose flag Rodrigo defeated, and arrested the very Powerfull Count of Barcelona, Ramon Berenguer II, a vassal of the Carolingian Empire in 1090. Rodrigo again changed sides with the Amlohade Muslims and at the height of Almoravid power in the Peninsula, he took Valencia from them in 1094. He remained as Sidi al-Balansí, Lord Of Valencia.

It is on stagevu.com
REAL CID son of Diego Lainez de Vivar, an infanzon lowest noble rank. He was educated with Prince Sancho of Castile. As king, Sancho II gave him the post of lieutenant of the royal militia (head of the Royal Guards), fighting against Sancho of Navarre . By virtue of his office, he compelled King Alfonso VI (1072) to swear was not responsible for the death of his brother, Sancho II, which caused the enmity of the monarch. He was replaced by Count García Ordóñez, contrary to the movie, not killed

Final Revolt. The Sea Battle Sequences Part One. También en King of Kings-Rozsa Subjugation. Para representar en todos estos Soundtracks: Batalla. Muerte. Peligro.
The Siege of valencia suena en Revolt, por lo tanto a la vez Prelude El Cid-Rozsa, también en Revolt suena Ride to Valencia y Ben Yusuf a tiempo, en la parte en que muere asesinado el lugarteniente de Ben Yussuf, lugarteniente interpretado por el gran Frank Thring , el Pilatos de Ben- Hur de William Wyler, música Miklos Rozsa ,y el Rey Herodes Antipas en Rey de Reyes de Nicholas Ray, música Miklos Rozsa.
En Starvation se repite The Siege of Valencia- Ride To Valencia y Ben Yusuf ala vez. Y visceverza en menor grado Starvation Revolt en esos soundtracks.
: Es por esto muy posiblemente Starvation Revolt sea suite : suena Battle Preparations- The Siege of Valencia- Ride to Valencia y Ben Yusuf , al tiempo.

Banished twice (again the proper legal definition).
@Bjjownsu10 Lol yes they did.
El cid in arabic is pronounced Al sayyed as in the master,chief.
Mutamin. Companion rather than sidekick. Support rather than comic relief.

We should always distinguish carefully, what it is human kind or that intellectual way to interpret religion !
one day we will back to andalusia who know the history change i not talking about our days now mybe in the future. nexte 200years
We'll be waiting.
Arabs are Hindo-Aryan=White, they mixed with the Syrians, Persians, Greeks and Romans, who were also white. The Colour mix came after the Middle Ages.
A very HONEST movie. This is the non-politically correct version of Kingdom of Heaven
Ah, the religion of peace at it again…
@4JBrewer It would be interesting to see a Muslim filmmaker of the status of Anthony Mann make an historical actioner about Ben Yusef, and color the Cid as a pure villain. Even Darth Vader, before he became Darth Vader, was a loving man who went the wrong path; ideologically, I'm not sure even Ben Yusef could be accused of that, as Muhammed did indeed command the spreading of Islam through conquest. Not substantially different from the evangelic commission of Jesus to the disciples.
Because Muslims/Christians did not pay taxes in the same rates if their government was of their faith, My Grandfather could have been a Christian, I became a Mullawad Muslim convert, but my grandson again became Cristian... race had nothing to do with it, because Muslims were also white, and racism began in the 16th century. Intermarriage was common, and the Three Faiths could participate openly in each others' rites and ceremonies...
@mosprime2 The solution is in your own hands. Don't read the comments.
we have be come women..اhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ا.i love this part killed..
Yes but "Hispania" wasn't Spain.The modern term Spain is a derivative from Hispania but it is not the same thing altogether, Spain is a modern concept, far more recent than EL CID. Hispania included part of what is Portugal today and France. So who is the stupid now??? Britain still is what Britania was, that is the difference.
@CSATexan Thats the problem. What happend to Islam is same that happened here in Europe with Ideological Radicalism since French Revolution. Islam had its counterpart with Islamic Radicalism that has nothing to do with True Traditional Islam. That for most part was destroid by Western Impearlism and European Colonialism.
I'am afraid you can't , when Islam left the peninsula there wasn't even a "Spain" yet.
The term Spain -Hispania -exists since roman times and even earlier. The word has phoenician origins. Your statement is as stupid as to pretend there wasn't a 'Britain' before 1707
Of course, the real Cid was often villainous, and the real Ben Yusef was often heroic, but the movie has to color them purely good and evil. It's ironic that this African emir in his opening speech condemns doctors and science, since the real Ben Yusef was justifiably proud of the medicines his Islamic doctors had created--the first antibiotics ever. The Moorish nation shared their medical discoveries with the world, including Spain.
2033
in fact we need someone like him in our day i mean ben yousef...spanish pepoles don't be sure one day we will come back to your and andalus too
we should fear our selves first
for we had opened the gates of hell
remember this to our ancestors once killed and conquered land that wasnt ours
most of all when we turn away from god and Christ things happen
@SocratesTheGadfly you have too many misspellings.... all islam is not "bad" ... and don't be dumb
Work of the Inquisitor.
El Cid Campeador, former Catalan hero usurped centuries ago by the Castilian dictatorship in power.
It is enough to read the original of Cantar del Mio Cid to know that the place name VIVAR does not appear in any of its pages and the one really named is that of the Catalano speaking population of BIAR, of similar sound. Cervantes wrote El Quijote with the intention of denouncing the Castellano usurpation of this Catalan character.
The strong limitations in censorship ordered by the Inquisitor forced him to devise the central character CIDE HAMETE BERENGELI, which he describes as true and authentic author of the story; in Christian language is CID SON OF BERENGUER.
investigating. in.freedom jajajajajaja Good joke!!
