Description: A documentary presenting parallel histories of El Cid and the First Crusade. July 10, 1099. Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the man known as El Cid, lays dying. He is one of the most remarkable warriors of the Middle Ages. Having begun life as an ordinary knight, he dies as conqueror of the magnificent city of Valencia. Five days later, July 15, 1099 – far away, a small army of crusaders storms Jerusalem. These men have traveled across continents to the Holy Sepulcher. This is the culmination of the First Crusade, and like El Cid, it defines the Latin West’s remarkable era of growth, adventure and expansion in the 11th century.
