{"product_id":"the-world-of-el-cid-rosemary-horrox-9780719052262","title":"The World of El Cid: Chronicles of the Spanish Reconquest","description":"Makes available, for the first time in English translation, four of the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish kingdom of Le-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Three chronicles focus primarily upon the activities of the kings of Le-Castile as leaders of the Reconquest of Spain from the forces of Islam, and especially upon Fernando I (1037-65), his son Alfonso VI (1065-1109) and the latter's grandson Alfonso VII (1126-57). The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo D僘z, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier who fought for Christian and Muslim alike. Covers the fasincating interaction of the Muslim and Christian worlds, each at the height of their power. Each text is prefaced by its own introduction and accompanied by explanatory notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Barton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719052262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719052262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Simon Barton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983590818047,"sku":"9780719052262","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11e3b067-3c64-41f2-a673-2bcbefad8b1d.jpg?v=1683267556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-of-el-cid-rosemary-horrox-9780719052262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
