Mio Cid, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, conquered King Zirí Abd'Allah of Granada in the Battle of Cabra, and in his castle mesó from the beards to García Ordóñez, origin of Leader Sang of Mio.
He became the subject of legend, being transformed by the Poema de Mio Cid, Spain's national epic, into Álvar Fáñez Minaya, a loyal vassal and commander under Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, El Cid, during the latter's exile and his conquest of Valencia.
The 1961 epic film, El Cid, was a romanticized story of the life of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar where El Cid was portrayed by Charlton Heston.
