Description

Born to a family of minor nobility, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar entered military service to retake Spain in the Reconquista. His bravery and resourcefulness quickly earned him the highest respect among both Christian and Islamic forces. El Cid was a humble commander, and was known to gather suggestions from his troops so as to best avoid making a mistake himself. However, El Cid’s disrespect towards authority and his continuing successes angered King Alfonso VI, who cast him into exile. El Cid then served as a mercenary for both sides until, having gathered an army of both Christian and Muslim soldiers, he conquered the city of Valencia. He ruled the city until his death in 1099. Use El Cid Campeador, respected by friend and foe alike, to carve out your own kingdom on the sands of the Anachronism arena.
