For other uses, see El Cid (disambiguation).
Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (c. 1043 – 10 July 1099) was a Castilian knight and ruler in medieval Spain. Fighting both with Christian and Muslim armies during his lifetime, he earned the Arabic honorific as-Sayyid ("the Lord" or "the Master"), which would evolve into El Çid (Spanish:[elˈθið], Old Spanish:[elˈts̻id]), and the Spanish honorific El Campeador ("the Champion"). He was born in Vivar, a village near the city of Burgos.
As the head of his loyal knights, he came to dominate the Levante of the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the 11th century. He reclaimed the Taifa of Valencia from Moorish control for a brief period during the Reconquista, ruling the Principality of Valencia from 17 June 1094 until his death in 1099. His wife, Jimena Díaz, inherited the city and maintained it until 1102 when it was reconquered by the Moors.

Rodrigo de Vivar (1043?-1099)
Rodrigo or Ruy Díaz de Vivar, better known as el Cid or el Campeador, is the heroof the Castilian epic poem, Poema (or Cantar) de mío Cid.
The Poema is not a historical document but a literary work inspired by Rodrigo’s life during his second exile and his relationship with his king, Alfonso VI. Historically, Rodrigo’s life differs in many respects from that depicted in the Poema.
Historical Context.
Some historical context might help us understand the political jungle of 11th-century Spain, in which the Cid lived. In a broad sense, the Spanish Peninsula was divided into two general groups identified bygd religion: Christian Spain andal-Andalus (Muslim Spain).
Both these groups were further subdivided. Christian Spain was made up of the kingdoms of León-Castile, Aragón, Navarra, and the County of Barcelona.
Al-Andalus was composed of several small kingdoms (taifas), following the break up of the Caliphate of Córdoba in 1031
