elcid81 I'm Online

Halo I am Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. I was born in 1044–Valencia. I am known as El Cid Campeador, I am a Castilian nobleman, military and political leader who conquered and governed the city of Valencia. I was educated in the royal court of Castile and became the alférez, or chief general, of Alfonso VI, fighting against the Moors in the early Reconquista. Later exiled by the king, I left the service of Castile and worked as a mercenary for other rulers, both Muslim and Christian.
