Alvar Fañez and the Two Hundred Horses.
-
Description
-
Alvar Fañez sets off for King Don Alfonso’s court, bringing along a portion of the spoils of war from the Cid’s successful defence of Valencia. Among these spoils are the two hundred horses named in the title. The spoils were sent as a gift to the king, and the extravagance and quantity of the spoils led to some jealousy from other nobles who thought the Cid was trying to show them up.
