History of El Cid and Colada
Colada was the name of one of the swords of the famous El Cid. The name El Cid was actually a title given to the Castilian knight Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. The term, meaning the lord, originated from the Arabic honorific of as-Sayyid. He also had the title of Campeador or Master of the Battlefield.
