At home equally in the emergent feudal kingdoms of northern Spain and the exotic principalities of the Moorish south, Rodrigo Diaz was an adventurous soldier of genius who, following his own fortunes, sold his skills to Christian and Muslim alike. Like all European aristocrat~soldiers of his time, he was always his own man, ever suspicious of established royal authority; throughout a remarkable career, he racked up an impressive series of military victories and amassed vast fortunes; by the end of his life (he died in 1099), he had become the independent ruler of Valencia, a principality he defended from repeated bloody attacks by Islamic fundamentalists who had invaded Spain from their Moroccan homeland~and he was the most famous man in Iberia. El Cid became the centerpiece of countless legends, of the great epic Poema de Mio Cid and of Corneille's splendid tragedy. Richard Fletcher's fascinating inquiry into the life and times of El Cid draws us into the real excitement of historical research, as the author separates fact from myth and involves us in the quest for the truth about this extraordinary hero. The Quest for El Cid is a journey of discovery into the turbulent dark history of an epoch when for the first time Christian and Muslim, European and Arab, met and clashed. Fletcher's account of a confrontation that helped to form modern Europe is a masterly accomplishment. Codice articolo 12292401
