He was born Rodrigo (or Ruy) Díaz de Vivar. Vivar being the town where he was born. It is near Burgos. He was born either in 1040 or 1043. Historians are not sure of the date. He died in Valencia in 1099. His name, "El Cid" was given to him by the Moors. In the mixture of the Spanish and Arabic language they used, they called him "As-Sid" (Lord or Chief). This was pronounced by the Spaniards as "El Cid", but they themselves actually called him "Campeador" (Champion)

  • Does every Youtube video have to degenerate into a political theological debate?

  • @Ibntomort

    And what would Muslims like the Taliban do to the library of Cordoba?? Would they celebrate such great works or would they destroy them.

    Would would they do to their philosophers?

    Would would they do to these Chemist??

  • @spanischekompaniess Oye disculpa pero yo soy de Israel.Que insultas mi pais y pueblo?,,,Somos una potencia mundial en tecnología .Israel es uno de los países mas pequeños del mundo .Lo lamento pero eres ignorante.Nuestros abuelos sacaron con el sudor de sus frentes el desierto cuando los árabes no a echo nada de nada.

    Desde luego si que España os a quedado el antisemitismo .La palabra judío en vuestras mentes es algo malo.

  • @sissieurope no vamos a perder la democracia y menos en españa con tantos siglos de opresion hacia el ciudadano ya estamos cansados pero,si que mas de uno va a perder sus libertades fisicas como humanos y serviran a nuevos governantes en el planeta tierra,se arrodillaran antes ellos y los veneraran como a dioses,va a ser muy divertido...

  • @sissieurope es mejor que esten aglutinados son un objetivo mucho mas facil,israel es un pais de fracasados no saben hacer nada,se piensan que son listos y asi les va

  • @sissieurope jejejejje bajo control es bajo control en todos los sentidos incluido el fisico,la esclavitud le sentara muy bien a la humanidad

  • @spanischekompaniess No te entiendo que significa los tenemos fichados y bajo control;>?

    Queréis perder vuestra democracia?

  • @sissieurope mejor que tengan un partido islamico asi los tenemos fichados y bajo control

  • @spanischekompaniess Si tienes la razón y sin contar que violaban las monjas de los conventos.Ahora se hacen pasar por san-titos.Y el COLMO que ya tienen un partido Islámico en España el Pruno.Que fuerte! ya piensan con las suyas.

    Que fuerte es esto con la democracia se aprovechan de los Europeos.

    Son un pueblo que hablan con dos voces falsos y haciéndose las victimas.

    Créeme en Israel hemos intentado educarlos pero no funcionan el Islam es a base de odio racismo inhumano y esclavitud.

  • @4JBrewer Actually it was the other way around

  • @4JBrewer It would be interesting to see a Muslim filmmaker of the status of Anthony Mann make an historical actioner about Ben Yusef, and color the Cid as a pure villain. Even Darth Vader, before he became Darth Vader, was a loving man who went the wrong path; ideologically, I'm not sure even Ben Yusef could be accused of that, as Muhammed did indeed command the spreading of Islam through conquest. Not substantially different from the evangelic commission of Jesus to the disciples.
