163. El Cid and the Enduring Culture Myth of the Reconquista III: The Apex of Ambition
Manage episode 497614430 series 2878495
This week we return to Iberia in the late 11th century to see how our old pal Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar is handling his second brush with exile from the royal court of Alfonso VI. He learned a lot during his first brush with freelance mercenary work, and this time we'll see him put those skills to work as he attempts to realize his loftier ambitions.
