Mester de juglaría refers to the medieval tradition according to which popular poems were passed down from generation to generation, being changed in the process. The Spanish medievalist Ramón Menéndez Pidal included the Cantar de mio Cid in the popular tradition he termed the mester de juglaría. The work survives in a medieval manuscript which is now in the Spanish National Library. It is considered a national epic of Spain. Based on a true story, it tells of the deeds of the Castilian hero Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar-known as El Cid-and takes place during the eleventh century, an era of conflicts in the Iberian Peninsula between the Kingdom of Castile and various Taifa principalities of Al-Andalus. 'The Song of my Cid', or 'The Song of my Sidi ('lord')'), or El Poema de mio Cid, also known in English as The Poem of the Cid, is the oldest preserved Castilian epic poem ( Spanish: epopeya).
