Poema De Mío Cid by Anonymous
An epic medieval narrative follows a dispossessed Castilian nobleman who, after being unjustly exiled, proves his worth through a series of military victories—most notably the capture and rule of a prosperous city—and thereby regains wealth and royal favor. His successes bring prestige but also a family crisis when his daughters are humiliated by their noble husbands; the hero forces a public reckoning that restores their honor. The poem examines loyalty, personal honor, feudal bonds, and the complex Christian–Muslim frontier of medieval Spain.
