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.

This week we settle in to talk movies; specifically, the 1961 historical epic 'El Cid'. Directed by Anthony Mann, and produced by Franco-collaborator Samuel Bronston, this hard-to-find technicolor classic is a prime example of political propaganda on the big screen. Shot largely on-scene in Spain, with 60's heavy-hitters Charlton Heston and Sofia Loren leading a cast that included hundreds of actual Francoist soldiers on loan as extras, there was plenty to admire and critique in equal measure.

This week we continue our look at the life and times of famed Reconquista-era knight and mercenary Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, known to posterity by the epithet El Cid. This week we will discuss the Christian response to the collapse of the Caliphate, the rise of the Almoravids, and begin to explore more deeply El Cid’s life and deeds, insofar as we know of them, and will attempt to sift apart truth from legend.

This week, we travel back to the Iberian Peninsula in the 11th Century CE and begin our discussion about one of the most formative events in the Western European historical tradition: The Reconquista. Traditionally, at least to Western historians, this has been a tale of the centuries long triumph of Christianity, Civilization, and Enlightened European Values over the despotic domination of the conquering Muslim hordes. This week we will introduce perhaps the most famous culture hero to emerge from this tumultuous era, El Cid, and explore the world into which he was born.
