Jahrhunderts bedrohen nicht nur aus Afrika herbei eilende Mauren unter Führung des gefürchteten Ben Yussuf, sondern auch allerhand innenpolitische Ränke die Integrität und Freiheit Spaniens. In diesem Umfeld wächst der kleine Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, Sohn eines verarmten Offiziers, in direkter Gesellschaft von Königssohn Sancho zum eindrucksvollen Wagehals heran, auf den bald die Rettung des gesamten Reiches wartet, als die Fürstin Urraca den König umbringen lässt.
