Makes available, for the first time in English translation, four of
the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish
kingdom of Leon-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
Three chronicles focus primarily upon the activities of the kings
of Leon-Castile as leaders of the Reconquest of Spain from the
forces of Islam, and especially upon Fernando I (1037-65), his son
Alfonso VI (1065-1109) and the latter's grandson Alfonso VII
(1126-57). The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo
Diaz, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of
information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier
who fought for Christian and Muslim alike. Covers the fascinating
interaction of the Muslim and Christian worlds, each at the height
of their power. Each text is prefaced by its own introduction and
accompanied by explanatory notes. -- .
