The Iberian people against the invaders bad Moorish at medieval era!!
30 May 2023
As far I remember just in El Cid the Castilian knight against the Moorish portrays a famous battle for Valencia at around 1.100 A. D. at Iberian peninsula, in this "I Cento Cavaliere" renamed in Brazil as "Son of El Cid" such movie states that Iberian still was split in two side the Christians at Burgos and the Moorish ruled the south, in the middle between two sides has a large fertile territory where the Christians peasants have an abundant wheat harvest to supply all neighborhoods, the wheat was sold in a city lead by a elected Mayor, when appears the Muslins under the leadership of the Sheik Abengalbon (Wolfgang Preiss) and his wise son Sheik Aben Calbon (Mario Feliciani) in an off the record visit.

Actually the Muslins want overthrow the Mayor Alfonso Ordonez (Hans Nielsen) and ruling at your way, slaving the free peasants by force, the son of the trader Don Fernando (Mark Damon) aware his pugnacious father Don Gonzalo Herrera (Arnoldo Foà) over the sad happenings, at once he gathered many villagers, peasants and even a one hundred highwaymen lead by a smart dwarf to training them for a fight against the invaders, also getting helping by the Christian monks.

A low profile picture where has a romantic couple Don Fernando and Sancha Ordonez (Antonella Lualdi), Don Fernando challenging the noble Sheik Aben Calbon for a duel, also an average final battle between the Mourish and Iberian, strong humor oriented to relief a little, allowed by sunday matinee, let it see easily, shooting on location at Spain, in several spots of great old fortress and a fabulous rocky desert landscape.

Thanks for reading.
