A simpleton; stupid This was the name of the white Andalusian steed belonging to El Cid. According to legend,
Babieca was frail and wild and when El Cid chose her, his godfather exclaimed
Babieca! and so this became his name.
Babieca, however, was not stupid; he became a great and famous warhorse and El Cid loved him so much he requested that
Babieca be buried with him in the monastery of San
Pedro de Cardena; unfortunately, his wish was not granted. Instead he was buried before the gate of the monastery and two elms were planted to mark the site.
