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.

hardcover. Condición: Very Good in Dustjacket. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1990. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394574478. 217 pages. hardcover. Front-of-jacket photograph by Dan Lloyd Taylor. keywords: History Spain Literature. DESCRIPTION - Rodrigo Diaz, the legendary… warrior-knight of eleventh-century Castile known as El Cid, is remembered today as the Christian hero of the Spanish crusade who waged wars of re-conquest for the triumph of the Cross over the Crescent. He is still honored in Spain as a national hero for liberating the fatherland from the occupying Moors. Yet, as Richard Fletcher shows in this award-winning book, there are many contradictions between eleventh-century reality and the mythology that developed with the passing years. By placing El Cid in a fresh, historical context, Fletcher shows us an adventurous soldier of fortune who was of a type, one of a number of 'cids,' or 'bosses,' who flourished in eleventh-century Spain. But the El Cid of legend - the national hero - was unique in stature even in his lifetime. Before his death El Cid was already celebrated in a poem written in tribute of the conquest of Almeria; posthumously he was immortalized in the great epic Poema de Mio Cid and became the centerpiece for countless other works of literature. When he died in Valencia in 1099, he was ruler of an independent principality he had carved for himself in Eastern Spain. Rather than the zealous Christian leader many believe him to have been, Rodrigo emerges in Fletcher's study as a mercenary equally at home in the feudal kingdoms of northern Spain and the exotic Moorish lands of the south, selling his martial skills to Christian and Muslim alike. Indeed, his very title derives from the Arabic word sayyid meaning 'lord' or 'master.' And as there was little if any sense of Spanish nationhood in the eleventh century, he can hardly be credited for uniting a medieval Spanish nation. In thisground-breaking inquiry into the life and times of El Cid, Fletcher disentangles fact from myth to create a striking portrait of an extraordinary man, clearly showing how and why legend transformed him into something he was not during his life. inventory #12101.
