Babieca or Bavieca
Several stories exist about the Cid and Babieca. One well-known legend about the Cid describes how he acquired the Stallion. According to this story, Rodrigo's godfather, Pedro El Grande, was a monk at a CarthusianMonastery. Pedro's coming-of-age gift to El Cid was his pick of a horse from an Andalusian_horseherd. El Cid picked a horse that his godfather thought was a weak, poor choice, causing the monk to exclaim "Babieca!" (stupid!) Hence, it became the name of El Cid's horse. Another legend states that in a competition of battle to become King Sancho's "Campeador", or champion, a knight on horseback wished to challenge the Cid. The King wished a fair fight and gave the Cid his finest horse, Babieca, or Bavieca. This version says Babieca was raised in the royal stables of Seville and was a highly trained and loyal war horse, not a foolish stallion. The name in this instance could suggest that the horse came from the Babia region in Leon(province)
