El Cid is the Spanish leader who captured Valencia during the reign of Castilian King Alphonse VI. El Cid held Valencia in 1094. Valencia had many different rulers before that time. For a while, the Romans had Valencia, then later it was the Muslims.
However, two years after El Cid died from an Almoravid Siege in 1099, the Muslims (Almoravids) recaptured Valencia. In 1238, King James I of Aragon brought a united Aragonese, Catalonian, and Navarrese contingent to reconquer Valencia. This time the city was permanently captured for the Christian Spaniards.
