SEASON 4: The Mediterranean Prepares
EPISODE 69: El Cid, Pt. 3: The Battle of Sagrajas
El Cid rides again—this time in exile, defending Zaragoza against his former countrymen. As Alfonso VI tightens his grip on Iberia, word spreads of a looming storm in the south. In Algeciras, a dark tide rises that will reshape the peninsula—and it all begins here, a decade before the First Crusade.
