Title: The Story of the Cid for Young People
Subject: Cowardice; Courage; Miracles
Period: 1900-1950;
Geographic: Spain
Description: The Cid takes control of a lion which escaped from its keepers. It broke into the palace and came into the room where he was sleeping, and upon waking up the lion instantly and miraculously obeyed him. This incident led to strife with his sons-in-law the Infantes, as they fled out of fear when the lion came in while others did not. The Cid did not fault them for this, but their shame cause them to resent him. This image is used again at page 222, with somewhat more detail but without the colour of the Cid's armour and crown.
