El Cid (TV series)

Ruy is the son of a low-ranking nobleman who died in the service of Ferdinand, Count of Castile (José Luis García Pérez).

Sancha plots with a group of Leonese nobles, notably Flaín, Count of León, and Ruy's grandfather Rodrigo, to overthrow her husband and take the throne that rightfully belongs to her.

Sancha is particularly concerned by the activities of her daughter Urraca,[4] Ferdinand's eldest child, who resents being excluded from the line of succession because she is a woman, despite the fact that she is older than Sancho, the king's chosen heir.

Urraca's ambition and resentment lead her to stir up trouble in the Royal Court in the hopes of finding any possible means of obtaining power and territory for herself.

Ruy is made squire of Crown Prince, Sancho, and falls in love with Jimena, who is betrothed to Orduño, son of the Count.
