The Reconquista's puzzle


Finally, read next text:

Listen to what the Cid said:
“You, beloved and honored woman,
who loves my daughters, my heart, and my soul,
enter our abode in Valencia with me,
this fruit of conquest that I have won for you.”
His wife and daughters kissed his hands,
and were received in Valencia to great acclaim.

With them the Cid approached the castle
and climbed with them to its highest point.
Beautiful eyes looked in all directions,
took in the wide expanse of the city,
at the other extreme had the sea within sight,
and gazed at the garden, which was ample and lush;
they raised up their hands to thank God
for this grace, as it was pleasant and auspicious.
