  • King Alfonso: "You are banished from my kingdom." El Cid: "I'm going to build my own kingdom with blackjack and hookers"
  • I remember playing the El Cid Campaign in AOE II. Those were the days!

    “Welcome Rodrigo, the tournament awaits only your arrival to begin.”
  • @omgpotatos1
    It's pretty impressive what he achieved in his lifetime
  • @lerneanlion
    One thing I admired about El Cid is that he found his way to become a "man of his own" in the end.
  • damn, he won so many battles and died of old age. his achievements are amazing
  • Usually, I have something profound to say. Not today. Don't forget to hydrate, it is important in winter, too, and enjoy your holidays! 2021 should be better. :-)
  • @silva6928
    Do not forget El Cids Campeador sword called "Tizona" Its also the most iconic sword in Spain and one of the most of the middle ages.
  • @jamesdunn9609
    I think he was a man of great character. He never tried to make himself a King, but founded a line of Kings. He accepted the authority of those over him and always gave his loyalty and service. He honored the oaths he took and kept his promises. He was a leader whose men adored him and literally would walk through hell if he required it of them. A rare individual indeed.

    When the word "Paladin" is bandied about, El Cid encapsulates what it means. What an incredible Knight.
  • El Cid is considered one of histories if not the greatest knight, excellent topic and thank you very much Kings
  • El Cid: Fight for various lords, and finally manage to establish his own kingdom Every mount and blade player: I too want to live that dream Mr. Cid
  • @IGuessVince
    Being undefeated if one of the rarest feats in real world history, truly an excellent tactical warrior whose life will be remembered throughout history
  • The history of Spain is very underrated and just as complex as that of Greece.
  • @rfij3268
    Interesting fact: the figure of El Cid is also known and admired in Latin America, in such a way that he is even mentioned in the Chilean National Anthem, in the second stanza that mentions how Chile won the respect of the Spanish during the bloody war of independence; mentioning them as the sons of the Cid. "Rise Chile, without stain on your forehead, you conquered your name in the fight, always noble, constant and brave, that's how the Cid's children saw you. "
  • In Spain,there is a legend that when the Cid died they took his corpse put him his armour and tied him to his horse to make a last cavalry charge against the Muslims even after death
  • @SpanishDio
    This dude is like King Arthur but if King Arthur was actually REAL. Thats mindblowing.
  • @lyonvensa
    When armies were stopped from invading because of the presence of one guy.
