Fixed most of the misspellings, such as 'daugter'. Added the part I was actually looking for when I searched this, relating to Freelancer. I have no idea what 'Damasc steel' is. I can only assume this is another misspelling of some region of Spain.

[edit] Damascus steel.

Put the Damascus steel line back in, linked to the appropiate article.

[edit] Bad link

The link to the Spanish museum goes nowhere.

I've altered the link to point to the museum's front page, since they're undergoing renovations and apparently changing the website to match. The Dark 15:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fighting Muslims

New enough here that I don't want to just change this without mentioning it, but according to all I've read, including Fletcher's "Quest for El Cid," the Cid fought Christians as well as Muslims, as did most during that time.

[edit] pic of sword

the pic on this page might be a sword of El Cid, but it's not Tizona. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.169.218.211 (talk) 19:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Tizona es falsa"

Apparently, a sword claimed to be Tizona was debunked and thus the Spanish military refused to buy that sword because of that. Why doesn't our article say anything about the debunked sword? 204.52.215.107 (talk) 22:39, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

That would need a reliable source to confirm it. - Caribbean~H.Q. 22:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
