I can't give you a title,
I give you my sword.

But you must be
loyal to the king.

I'm appointing
you my new squire.

I am going to expose you.

You'll sink into the
sewer you came from.

No one will remember your name.

I would like to

say goodbye.

I won't say goodbye
because you'll return.

What did you do, you fool?

You touched skin
you shouldn't have.

He has sentenced you to death.

It is in your hands whether or not
León has a queen in its own right.

- Why does Father only see Sancho?
- Sancho is the crown prince.

Because he was born with
something hanging down there?

- It's the law.
- Men's law, Mother.

Do you like being submissive?

I could feel you
praying for me to fail.

But look, here I am.

And I'm still the man who
will one day be your king.

The throne demands violence.

You must be prepared to spill the
blood of those you love most. And I am.

Lamb brains. My favorite!

- What is it? Fernando!
- Father!

Help!

My son Sancho will be
named king of Castile.

To my son Alfonso, I
give the kingdom of León.

- You're splitting up the kingdom!
- This is God's will.

Who did this?

You! You're going to
die! Die, die, die, die!

VIVAR. 11TH CENTURY

When the lark sings,
the weather changes.

If the nightingale answers, you
will see the sun on the horizon.

The birds tell us everything.

You just have to
know how to listen.

The Legend of El Cid.

When the news of the
battle of Graus came,

I prayed for three days and three
nights that you hadn't been there.

And then I learned of the victory
and that you were a hero, my son.

I cried with joy.

You have become everything
your father dreamed of.

A good soldier, a knight.

I am not a knight, Mother.

It doesn't matter, Son.

I'm sure your father, from
heaven, is very proud of you.

When I manage to become one,

when I achieve a title,
land, and a castle,

Father will be proud of me.

I will be what he
wanted me to be.

What about you, Rodrigo?
Is that what you want?

Will you go with Sancho?

To the court of
Burgos, I suppose.

Mother, why don't
you come with me?

Son...

I know that your father
gave you his sword

and told you to always
be loyal to your king.

But do not be fooled, Rodrigo.

You may fight and
die for a king,

but to him you will only
be a bargaining chip

to gain more kingdoms
and more lands,

something as ephemeral as dust.

- Mother, are you all right?
- Yes, Son.

It's just this
cold here in Vivar.

I know that your grandson
killed my father.

How could you do it?

What, my lady?

Kill the Count of León.

Does my lady think I killed him?

Did you?

I swear before God that
I did not kill Flaín.

Forgive me.

I shouldn't have doubted you.

Will you go to
Burgos with Sancho?

I am his squire.

He is my lord and my king.

We may never see
each other again.

Jimena.

My lady, you told me that
your engagement to Orduño...

It's broken off.

Jimena, I'm just
a simple squire.

The squire who became
a hero at Graus.

My lady...

I am nobody.

I have nothing to offer.

But if you wait for me,

I swear to obtain
all that you deserve

and thus be able to ask the
king for your hand in marriage.

It once brought you luck.

Take it and keep your oath.

Until that day, I
will wait for you.

I will always keep
it close to my heart.

You took a long time to return
from Vivar. Is your mother okay?

Yes.

Thank you, Grandfather.

I will never forget
what you did with Flaín.

Never speak of it again, Ruy.

- And be careful with Orduño.
- I've been doing that since I was little.

Is that why you sent for me?

No.

- Your Highness...
- Arise, Ruy.

Looking at the square, I was reminded
of the day you arrived in León.

That was a long
time ago, my lord.

My brother Sancho was fortunate
to have you by his side.

It's flattering
that you think so.

So now I would like to
share in that good fortune.

I want you to stay
here in León with me.

- But, my lord...
- It is right.

I know you had nothing
to do with Flaín's death.

I have made inquiries. Your
grandfather is from León.

And your father was a Laínez,
a lineage of Leonese blood.

Your place is here, Ruy.

Since I was a child I have
served your brother Sancho.

And you are still a squire.

I will make you a knight, Ruy.

I will give you a title. You
will have land and a castle.

What more do you want?

Ask me and it will be yours.

Swear that you will at
least think about it.

I swear, my lord.

Saying goodbye to
the throne, brother?

You're enjoying this,

aren't you, Urraca?

It is hard to have something
of yours taken away from you.

Do you understand better now?

I have always understood you.

- You never accepted your place.
- What place?

The one Father gave me?

Well, now you'll have to accept
the one he reserved for you.

Castile.

How I wish you were a man.

No. You wouldn't like that, because
if it were so, I would be your king.

I was the one who gave Father
the idea to divide the kingdom.

You lie.

Do you think so?

Your father left you a legacy.

I hope you will live up to it.

Sancho, Alfonso, García,

I have arranged for Don
Bernardo to crown you

in the Basilica
of Saint Isidore.

With these coronations, I want to
send a message of unity to everyone.

- It is what your father would have wished.
- We will honor his will, Mother.

Urraca and Elvira,

your father generously
provided you with a legacy.

Mother, I don't...

You will accept your father's
will just like your sister Urraca.

You will leave as soon as
the coronations are over.

Do you decree
anything else, Mother?

No.

- Alfonso, wait. I need to talk to you.
- Sure.

Mother, do you have a moment?

Go on.

We have not spoken
since Father died.

I have had to deal with
matters of vital importance.

I could have helped you, just
like I did with Father's will.

Daughter...

I know that without you none of
this would have been possible.

Your father knew this and that
is why he left you Zamora.

When your brothers are crowned,
go and take charge of your estate.

My lady mother will stay in León

with Alfonso.

This is my rightful place.

Hey! The Champion
has returned to León!

And he found us in the tavern!

- It doesn't take a genius.
- You won't believe it.

Nuño wants to go to
Galicia with García.

So please tell this rogue
that he's coming with us.

- Let him do as he wishes.
- García has always been my lord.

- And we have always been your friends.
- As if Lisardo has to tell you that!

Look, the only thing I know for
sure is that I go where Ruy goes.

So with Sancho, right?

Alfonso has offered
to make me a knight.

A title and a castle.

- Damn!
- So what are you going to do?

I know exactly what I would
do. What has Sancho given you?

You saved his life at Graus and
he hasn't even knighted you.

And Alfonso offers you everything
we have dreamed of, doesn't he?

Álvar,

- doesn't loyalty mean anything to you?
- Very much so.

We have to serve a king.
But no one said which one.

- So, who will you go with?
- With you.

With Nuño, with Ruy, with my friends.
That's where my loyalty lies.

That's why it's so hard
for me to leave Sancho.

Such poor aim, Orduño.

If I wanted to kill you, it
would be stuck in your neck.

Are you practicing backstabbing?

- I know what you did.
- You do?

I'm sure the Count of León would
not object to reminding me.

You killed my father.

Your father was a traitor.

A man of no honor.

- But I did not kill him.
- You lie.

You are a coward.

You know better than anyone
that I am not a coward.

I will find the
necessary evidence

and King Alfonso will
give me satisf
