Abstract

While it is necessary for Castile to unite against a common enemy, the Muslim enemy isn't enough. The poet adds the supernatural enemy, the Devil, as well as court intrigue instigated by a queen, to ensure there is a proper call to arms while at the same time demonstrating that there is one woman worthy to establish a new Christian Spain with the poem's hero and avenge the women who were sacrificed when Spain first fell to the Moors.
