He avoided putting his men in danger at all costs and only took a proportional amount of military booty for himself. El Cid was what a noble hero was supposed to be (Cantor, church, middle, cantor, ed, nobility, time, society, noble, ages, while, st, class, cid, same, roland, over, great, culture, christian, between, way, population, played, people, one, much, medieval, made, kings, higher, hero, gave, families, during, century
