Geographic: Spain
Description: This page seems not to have scanned properly, and so only the middle of the image is here. The title has also been cut off, and so part of it is speculative. The image presumably shows the champions fighting on behalf of the Cid in a trial by combat against the Infantes and their representatives for their crimes against his daughters. These champions included Pero Bermudez among others, all of whom were victorious in their duels.
