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

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

El Cid麓s real name was Rodrigo Diaz.

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.

Hello im spanish
the real name of "El Cid Campeador" was Don Rodrigo D铆az de Vivar and was borned in Burgos. He is a legend in Spain, fighting agaisnt muslims.
a good start to find basic information is Google:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cid

there you have some links that maybe help you, i dont know if you can read spanish, you can search for:

-Rodrigo D铆az de Vivar
-El Cid Campeador
-La Reconquista (711aC-1492 aC)

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

bye

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...

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.
