Description: Alvar Fanez reports back to King Alfonso that the Cid has defeated two kings who had been sent by the King of Valencia to fight him. He brings with him a portion of the Cid’s spoils, which the Cid instructed him to give to the king. Alfonso is pleased with the news and restores the property and safety of all the knights travelling with the Cid, but stops short of lifting the Cid’s banishment just yet.
