      abstract = {Eleventh-century Spain is divided into Christian kingdoms  and Moorish strongholds. The young Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar,  who has been dubbed El Cid by his followers, vows to see  his country at peace, free from the invader. Showing  clemency to some emirs, he faces treason charges at court.  His accuser, Gomez, father of his fiancee, Chimene, dies in  the resulting duel. Chimene's avowed vengeance plot fails  and Rodrigo is given her hand. When King Ferdinand dies,  his kingdom is divided among his three children. Sancho  challenges the decision and imprisons Alfonso, who is  released by El Cid. Then Sancho is assassinated by an  African war-lord. Alfonso now claims that throne, too, and  exiles El Cid. Chimene realizes the nobility of her husband  and joins him. The years pass and El Cid becomes a revered  warrior, but refuses to aid Alfonso. He lays siege to  Valencia, catapulting food into its starving garrison. The  Valencians kill their evil ruler and offer the crown to El  Cid. He sends it to Alfonso, who rushes to his side. But El  Cid has been hit by a stray arrow. Attended by Chimene, he  hides the wound from his men and prepares a final bid to  drive the Moors from Spain.},
