Zulema/Alcamin As portrayed by Douglas Wilmer in El Cid

And when the King of Zaragoza and the Cid drew nigh unto Valencia, Yahia went out to welcome them, and thanked them greatly for coming to his assistance; and he lodged them in the great garden, which was called the Garden of Villa Nueva, and honoured them greatly and sent them great presents: and he invited them afterwards to come with their honourable men and be his guests in the Alcazar.

But the King of Zaragoza all this while had his eye upon the town, thinking that it would be given up to him as Abencano had promised; but he saw no signs of this, neither knew he how he could win it.

Moreover Yahia had placed his love upon the Cid, and had sent him fun noble gifts when he was upon the road, in secret, so that the King of Zaragoza knew not thereof.

And the King of Zaragoza asked counsel of the Cid how he might get Valencia into his hands, and besought the Cid to help him.

But the Cid made answer, how could that be, seeing that Yahia had received it from the hands of King Don Alfonso, who had given it unto him that he might dwell therein.

If indeed King Don Alfonso should give it to the King of Zaragoza, then might the King win it, and he would help him so to do; otherwise he must be against him.

When the King heard this he perceived how the Cid stood in this matter: and he left an Alcayde with a body of knights to assist King Yahia, and also to see if he could win the town: and he himself returned to Zaragoza.
