In this episode of The History AI Podcast, Chuck and Marco explore the life and legend of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar — better known as El Cid — one of the most complex and fascinating figures of medieval Spain. From his tumultuous exiles to his cunning mercenary years, El Cid’s journey defies easy labels. He was a Christian knight who fought for Muslim rulers, a hero of the Reconquista who forged alliances across enemy lines, and a military genius whose legacy still shapes Spain’s national identity.
Join us as we unpack the politics, the battles, and the legends that turned a man into a myth. Along the way, we’ll explore how El Cantar de Mio Cid immortalized him as a chivalric hero, even as history reveals a far more nuanced figure.
So saddle up — this is the story of the mercenary who became a legend.
Stay tuned after the episode for the song "El Cid: Knight of Destiny"
