Burgos As portrayed in El Cid

Pero Bermudez returned the next day to Molina, where Abengalvon had done great honour to the dames, and to Alvar Fanez, and all that were with him.

And they departed from Molina, and Abengalvon with them, for he would not leave them till he had brought them to Valencia to his Lord the Cid.

And when the Cid knew that they were drawing nigh he rode out two leagues to meet them, and when they saw him they made great lamentation, they and all his company, not only the Christians but the Moors also who were in his service.

But my Cid embraced his daughters, and kissed them both, and smiled and said, Ye are come, my children, and God will heal you! I accepted this marriage for you, but I could do no other; by God's pleasure ye shall be better mated hereafter.

And when they reached Valencia and went into the Alcazar to their mother Dona Ximena, who can tell the lamentation which was made by the mother over her daughters, and the daughters with their mother, and by the women of their household.

Three days did this great lamentation last.

And the Cid thanked Abengalvon, his vassal, for the honour which he had shown to his children and their company, and promised to protect him from all who should come against him.

And Abengalvon returned to Molina well pleased.
