In the second half of the 11th century, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the Cid Campeador, became famous for his victorious campaigns against the Muslims during the reconquest of the Kingdom of Valencia. Unjustly accused of treason, Rodrigo kills Jimena’s father in a duel, who rejects him and locks himself in a convent. This is the starting point of numerous adventures: the intrigues of Count García Ordóñez, the challenge of King Ramiro of Aragón and his confrontation with Alfonso VI (Jura de Santa Gadea), who banished him from Castile.
