Description The myth of the Cid the Campeador, the great Castilian hero, the most important "lord of the war" in the Spain of the Middle Ages, seen from a completely fantasy and unreal perspective, illustrating the myth, the legend, not reality. (I say this to anticipate the many corrections that some of my contacts could make me).
The idea of this illustration comes from a "request" by an old acquaintance, very patriotic and Spanish nationalist, who wanted to get a tattoo of the Cid. At the time I dismissed the request, but after a while I thought that, regardless of ideological connotations, it could be fun to do so.

In Age of Empires II, the El Cid campaign was my favorite.

Yes, that was the idea, It is an illustration that is not intended to be realistic, but in turn, not fantastic.

The first time I've heard of it. BTW, is there some meaning behind the horse's expression?

According to James Burke on his 'Connections' TV series, Don Rodrigo was a mercenary who sold his sword to either side of the line between Christian North and Moorish South.Β  Not withstanding, I always thought Charlton Heston did a damn good presentation in the movie.

Yes, the real character basically was that, a mercenary, but there is also the legend, were they picture him more like a hero.Β

Kind of, but his story remind me more "The last Kingdom" (the Netflix TV serie)
