@ jardon8636 " *El Cid* " ("the Lord") was *Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar* (c. 1043 - 1099) *a* *knight who lived in* *11th century Spain.* In Spain El Cid is also known as: " *El Campeador* " ("the master of the Battlefield") Eleanor of Aquitaine, William Marshall, Richard I of England and Berengaria of Navarre (c. 1165-1170 to 1230) lived in 12th century England and France. Although, the clothing did not change much during the 100 years or so between the eras of each. I personally think that El Cid was a more worthy knight than Richard I of England. ALSO: El Cid was a faithful husband and father (of 2 girls) After his death, his wife and daughters took refuge in a convent. Richard liked to fight but he was not a good peacetime administrator or husband. Like William Marshal, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar was an outstanding knight and a great administrator. Both had better morals and exhibited more of the knightly qualities than the kings whom they served!
Beautifully articulated Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏💜💜💐💐🦋
I’m so excited for this! People don’t talk about her enough. ❤️ Thank you!
Thank you👍😊
I do not think that Berengaria would have liked her father-in-law, very much! (She probably didn't care that much for Eleanor either)
