I need to give a small presentation about el Cid and Santiago, heroes of the Reconquer in Spain. Help please.?

Question

Where is a good place to find basic information about these people with some nice pictures for a PowerPoint presentation.

Answer 1

In battle times El Cid most always took advice or ideas from his soldiers because he was always afraid that he might fail or make the wrong decisions.

Answer 2

as they have already answered you about el cid, I would recommend also wikipedia for santiago, here is the link http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_el...

Answer 3

a good start to find basic information is Google:

-Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar

-El Cid Campeador

-La Reconquista (711aC-1492 aC)

i dont know what Santiago you are talking about, maybe the Saint?

Answer 4

El Cid´s real name was Rodrigo Diaz.

Answer 5

Ok, I would search for those names, but since Saint James died in the first century, that would have been a few hundred years BEFORE the Muslim conquest of Spain, and about 100 years more BEFORE the reconquest.  Don't think he had anything to do with the reconquest.
