CHAPTER ELEVEN: … AND INTO LEGEND
1.Quoted in Melvena McKendrick A Concise History of Spain (London, Cassell 1972). p. 76.
2.Southey, Chronicle of the Cid, p. 269.
3.Maurice Keen, Chivalry, (Newhaven, Yale University Press, 2005), p. 249.
4.Arcturus in Latin is linked with Ursus the bear. This may have been a nickname for a warrior whose actual name is unknown or it could have been a battle standard.
5.Quoted in Henry Kamen, A Concise History of Spain, (London, Thames and Hudson, 1973).
6.Preface to Southey, Chronicles of the Cid, p. xx.
7.Quoted in Mckendrick, Concise History of Spain
8.An exact parallel is the advent on children’s television in the late twentieth century, which wove completely fictional stories about slim legends like Robin Hood, William Tell, Sir Lancelot and Ivanhoe.
9.Quoted in Fitzmaurice-Kelly, Chapters, p. 2.
10.Technically, it is likely that the Cid romances were read in Spanish colonies in America, but that is impossible to quantify.
11.All translations of the Mocedades del Cid are by Eva Campana-Pizzaro.
12.Corneille Le Cid, (1605).
13.Corneille, Le Cid, (1605).
14.Wikipedia.
15.Southey, quoted in Wikipedia.
16.Such debates were all the rage at the time, the Romantics seeing flogging as part of the evils of the cruel ancien régime which they despised.
17.Wikipedia.
18.Wikipedia.
19.Alfonso X’s of the 1270s.
20.Southey, Chronicle of the Cid, p.xx.
21.Ibid, xxi.
22.And we still do so today. Menendez Pidal in the 1920s and Richard Fletcher in the 1990s both added words and phrases in order to make sense of a Latin or medieval Spanish corruption.
23.Southey (Dolphin 1955) Chronicle of the Cid, p. xxii.
24.Ibid, xxv.
25.Quoted in Kamen, Concise History of Spain, p. 114.

38.Heston, In the Arena, p. 239.
39.Ibid, p. 242.
40.Ibid, p. 245.
41.Mel Gibson has particularly come under fire for this. His Braveheart depiction of Scottish freedom-fighter William Wallace portrayed the man as a victim and Edward I, one of the finest kings of medieval England, as a murderous Machiavellian thug. Even more unforgivably, the British officer portrayed in The Patriot as a bloodthirsty killer is unmistakably Banastre Tarleton, a gallant soldier in any period.
42.Heston, In the Arena, p. 250.
43.Ibid, p. 253.
