Episode 238
Before the legend, before the ballads and the bronze statues, there was a man known simply as السيد — al-Sayyid.
A title whispered with respect across the plains of medieval Spain.
Not a king. Not a saint.
But a warrior whose life would shift the balance of power in a land divided by faith and ambition.
In the dust of the 11th century, al-Sayyid — Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar — lived in a world where alliances changed with the wind and loyalty was often measured in steel. Christians and Muslims fought, traded, negotiated, and coexisted in a fragile rhythm, and Rodrigo moved through it all with a skill that would make him both feared and admired.
This is the story of the man behind the myth.
The soldier before the hero.
The exiled knight who carved his own path long before history called him El Cid.
