Summary "Romancero Selecto del Cid" by Anonymous is a collection of poems and ballads focusing on the legendary figure Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, known as El Cid, written in the late 19th century. This anthology captures the essence of the heroic tales associated with El Cid, celebrating his exploits as a valiant knight and leader during a tumultuous period in Spanish history. The narratives highlight the themes of honor, valor, and loyalty which surround the iconic character in Spanish folklore. The opening of this collection presents a rich historical context of El Cid's life and actions, tracing his noble lineage and early entanglements, including the vengeance he sought for his father's death. It details pivotal moments in his early life such as his rise to prominence as a knight under King Sancho II, his battles against Muslim forces, and his eventual conflicts with rival nobles. Through vivid storytelling, the opening chapters provide an overview of El Cid's character—proud and honorable yet driven by a desire for vengeance—setting the stage for further exploration of his legendary status in Spanish literature.
