The legend of El Cid became Spain's national epos. Rodrigo Diaz 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. Rodrigo de Vivar, also known as El Campeador (the Champion), was a notable military leader and the national hero of Spain. His title of "the Cid" comes from a Spanish dialect of Arabic, sidi, meaning "sir" or "lord," and was a title he acquired during his lifetime. Length: 25" Width: 7 5/8" |
