The conquest of Valencia in the "Cantar de Mio Cid"

Abstract

The section of the Cantar de Mio Cid between the defeat of Berenguer and the fall of Valencia has received relatively little serious study. In the opinion of the late Ramon Menendez Pidal, for example, the treatment afforded in these lines to the Cid's conquest of Valencia is of such small interest as to merit only the note, del principal hecho de armas del Cid, la conquista de Valencia, prueba el juglar estar poco enterado; hasta cree que la toma de Murviedro sucedio antes que la de Valencia; afirma que el sitio de esta duro solo nueve meses (1209), cuando en realidad duro nada menos que veinte; y refiere el afanoso asedio que costo al heroe la gran ciudad en solos 50 versos, despues de haber despachado la conquista de los lugares de su reino con decir, en ganar aquellas villas myo Cid duro tres anos. Though, as will be seen, this judgement does less than justice to the poet, similar comments are to be found elsewhere in the writings of Menendez Pidal, who repeatedly stresses the brevity of this passage.
