The Cid had been married in July …
Years: 1097 - 1097
The Cid had been married in July 1074 to kinswoman Jimena de Gormaz (spelled Ximena in Old Castilian), the daughter of the Count of Oviedo and a kinswoman of Alfonso VI.
This was probably on Alfonso's suggestion; a move that he probably hoped would improve relations between him and El Cid.
Together El Cid and Ximena have had three children.
Their daughters, Cristina and María, have both married high nobility; Cristina, to Ramiro, lord of Monzón and bastard descendant of kings of Navarre; María, first to Infante of Aragon and second to Ramón Berenguer III, count of Barcelona.
El Cid's son, Diego Rodríguez, is killed while fighting against the invading Almoravids at the Battle of Consuegra in 1097.
