Yo old movie nerds?!
The BBCIplayer, at least in Britain so don't quote me, has a genuinely great collection of like "must see old movies".
Casablanca, The Producers, Cleopatra, Hello Dolly, The Graduate, Mary Queen of Scots, Great Expectations (1941), Guys and Dolls, Chariots of Fire, Citizen Kane, El Cid, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, Funny Girl, Fiddler on the Roof and The Ipcress File.
So anyone wondering where to watch these in this streaming hellscape we live in? BBCIplayer babyyyy

Minaya blogging season is going to look very different after reading "Historia y Mito de un señor de la guerra".
Still obsessed, though.

Again; accurate. I don’t make the rules. I feel like Carlo and Miguel could have been good friends if Hernandez and Chico weren’t such asses 😅

You know possibly the funniest/most chaotic thing about the time of El Cid was the Battle of Cabra
Okay so during the time of taifas (Muslim spheres of influence in Spain), the taifas would at some points be paying tribute to the more Catholic north... these were called parias and it's not a constant thing but there were certain treaties in place between cities and city-states between the north of Spain and Al-Andalus which is the south
But make no mistake, El Cid (and many others in this time) were essentially mercenaries and would fight for the Muslims against Christians, or against the Muslims for the Christians depending on the situation even though at this point El Cid was a favorite of Alfonso VI
In fact, El Cid [whose real name was Rodrigo Díaz] got the nickname El Cid from the Muslims where it meant something like "the Lord", and the other term associated with him Campeador from the Christians which meant something like "Battlemaster"
El Cid used to serve Muslim Zaragoza against Aragon, but he also at one point besieges Muslim Valencia and takes it for Christendom
I have to mention this because some people use El Cid as like "the Christian Knight of the Reconquista" like that's a goal to have but he was a mercenary and served with Muslims, under Muslims, and had no problem attacking a Christian or Muslim city if it was his orders/if he was getting paid
So this one time King Alfonso VI of Castile/León/Galicia sends two people out to collect the parias
He sends El Cid to Seville to collect money. And he sends this other dude Count García Ordóñez (who haaaaaates El Cid) off to Granada to get money
While they're out there getting money, it turns out that Seville and Granada are about to fight each other - because the taifas, like the Christian city-states, fight with each other sometimes even though they're both Muslim taifas
So what happens is that El Cid sees it as his right to be protecting the tribute that Granada is probably going to steal if they take the city. And Count García Ordóñez joins with the Granada forces because the whole point of this money is that it's a military contract so he's upholding his end of the military treaty to help them in exchange for money
...In other words, Alfonso VI SOMEHOW sent his own men out to two different places and they end up fighting each other
Seville wins over Granada in the Battle of Cabra, and El Cid captures the Count and ransoms him along with the Christian knights because that's what mercenaries do
And Count García Ordóñez is (perhaps rightfully?) pissed that he got beaten by El Cid but also the situation was messy - and the Count complains to Alfonso VI and that's part of what leads to El Cid being exiled....... The other part being that El Cid ended up in (Mulsim) Toledo which was a vassal state of Alfonso VI which he had no real right to be there doing what he was doing, which is fair because it looks like El Cid was working both sides and possibly acting like a bandit for some of his time because, again, mercenary
But can you imagine sending two of your trusted vassals to two separate places and they end up fighting each other (in your name)? What a shit show

Cantar de Mio Cid. El códice - Libro
El Cantar de Mio Cid es el poema épico más famoso de la Edad Media hispánica y la obra que supuso la consagración de Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar como personaje literario, después de haberse convertido en un hito histórico, de modo que su renombre y leyenda no han dejado de crecer desde sus mismos días hasta el presente. El único códice medieval que transmite ese cantar de gesta (del cual son copia los…
