1076-1097. The son of the Cid, slain at Consuegra in a battle between King Don Alfonso with King Abenalfange of Denia.
The existence and activities of the Cid’s son are mysteriously not otherwise mentioned much in the chronicle or the poem.
And in these days King Don Alfonso fought at Consuegra with King Abenalfange of Denia, and in this battle the Christians were defeated, and Diego Rodriguez, the son of my Cid, was slain.
I have seen my father Diego Laynez, and Diego Rodriguez my son; and every time they say to me, You have tarried long here, let us go now among the people who endure for ever.
