EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image is taken from the Chronicle of El Cid, also known as the Chronicle of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar or the Famous Champion Cid, a seminal work in the annals of Spanish history. Published for the first time in 1593, this chronicle recounts the life and exploits of Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar, a legendary figure who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most celebrated military leaders in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. Depicted in this print is El Cid's personal shield, which bears the emblem of a moor's head, a symbol of his victories against the Muslim forces that dominated much of Spain during his time. The shield is encircled by a golden border adorned with the inscription "El Cid Campeador," which translates to "El Cid the Champion." Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar was born in the late 11th century in the region of Burgos, in northern Spain. He gained renown as a skilled warrior and a fierce opponent of the Muslim forces that had invaded and occupied much of the peninsula. Over the course of his career, El Cid led numerous military campaigns against the Muslims, eventually capturing the city of Valencia and ruling it as its de facto ruler. Despite his military prowess, El Cid's life was not without controversy. He was accused of treason by the Castilian king, Alfonso VI, and was forced to flee into exile. However, he was eventually pardoned and returned to Spain, where he continued to serve as a military leader until his death in 1099. The Chronicle of El Cid is an invaluable source of information about this legendary figure and the historical context in which he lived. This print, which depicts El Cid's shield, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable man and the indelible mark he left on Spanish history.
