Le Cid is really El Cid, aka Don Rodrigo Diaz of Spain. He fought to chase the Moors out of his native region of Castile in the 11th century. Although they returned after his death, he is regarded as a national hero in his country for his patriotism and his bravery. The Opera by Jules Massenet is all about Diaz's life during that time
