Description: A synopsis of the play by Pierre Corneille.
THE CID was first produced in Paris, probably late in November, 1636. THE famous soldier, Diègue, had served King Fernand of Castile faithfully and well. In his old age he was rewarded with the coveted position of tutor to the young Prince. Since Gomez, Count of Gormaz, although considerably younger, had been scarcely less conspicuous for personal bravery and crafty generalship, he had believed that he would be chosen for this mark of honor. In his bitter disappointment he not only refuses to sanction the marriage of Diègue's son, Roderick, to his daughter, Chimène, but offered deadly insult to Diègue by a blow to the face.
