* Part I is about Ruy Diaz de Vivar, who is called Mío Cid ( meaning my Lord ) by the Moors.
His current task is to collect the tributes from the Moorish territory owed to his king, Alfonso VI of Leon.
Cid's enemy accuses him of taking some of these tributes and the king exiles him from Leon and Castilla.
Before he leaves, he places his wife, Doña Jimena, and his two daughters, Doña Elvira and Doña Sol, in the Monastery of Cardeña.
The canto then gives accounts of raids in the Moorish territory in which Cid and his men get rich off of the spoils.
