Hello guys! This is my contest entry for the Medieval / Dark Ages Skin Contest.
El Cid (or Rodrigo Diaz) was a Castilian nobleman and military leader in medieval Spain.
He was named El Cid by the Moors, which means: "The Lord". And he was named El Campeador by the Christians, which means: "The Champion". El Cid was born in the year 1044 in Vivar, near Burgos in North Spain. There are many myths about El Cid, among others that his wife, when he died, bound him to his horse, Babieca, in his known armor and sent the horse out for violation against Moors, who besieged Valencia. In real life this myth is busted, he died rich in his own bed.
