about 1049; Died 10 July 1099; Married Ximene (Bivar):
Born about 1051. Roderigo de Dias Bivar was a famous warrior in
11th-century Spain, whose exploits formed the subject matter of the great
Castilian epic the Poem of the Cid. Known to the Moors as el Cid (the lord),
he was exiled (1081) from Castile by Alfonso VI because of the jealousy of
other nobles. Though he spent many years in the service of other rulers,
he always remained loyal to his King. In 1094 he seized the Muslim city of
Valencia and ruled it as lord until his death on July 10, 1099, after which
his widow abandoned it to the Moors. The History of Roderigo is a contemporary
Latin prose account of his deeds.
