The Poema de mio Cid is one of the oldest extant literary works in Castilian, and the most complete epic poem of the Spanish medieval period now known to us in a form close to that in which it was originally written, perhaps around 1200. But it was not the only early source for legends of the Cid, as the Crónica de veinte reyes, the quasi-historical Chronicle of Twenty Kings, demonstrates.
