History Presentation I

I will first say that the information from wikipedia was a WRONG INFORMATION.
I think I have to remind this to not make people who used this information and get low scores.
However, the content I wrote about the movie is very right.

Good morning, everyone. My name is Na Eun Lee, and I will present about 'Prince Sancho' of the movie called 'El Cid'. Today, I will talk about the movie and the result in wikipedia. Then I will say differences. And lastly, I will talk about my opinion. According to wikipedia, his real name is 'Sancho Garcia', and he is son of 'Count Garcia Fernandez', and 'Aba of Ribagorza'. He was the count of Castile and Alava from 995 to 1017. He rebelled against his father with the support of Al-Mansur of Cordoba. This resulted in the partition of the country between father and son, and the country was not reunited until his father's death five years later. He renewed the Reconquista by rebelling against Almanzor, alongside Garcia Sanchez II of Pamplona and Garcia Gomez of the Banu Gomez. Sancho led the coalition that was defeated at the Battle of Cervera in July 1000, but in early September successfully turned back the Cordoban invasion of his country. Almanzor was again campaigning against Sancho in 1002, when another battle occured, remembered by the Christians as the Battle of Calatanazor and Muslims as the Pedroso expedition. The two sides report different outcomes to the battle itself, but Almanzor died of injuries received in the conflict, removing Sancho's primary antagonist and leaving the Caliphate of Cordoba in crisis. Sancho ruled for another 15 years, and was succeeded by his own son Garcia. His wife was named 'Urraca', who was Sancho's cousin, and the daughter of Count Gomez Diaz of Saldana. This couple had 5 children called Muniadona Mayor, Ferdinand, Trigvrid, Snacha, and Garcia. As I said before, Garcia was the one who succeeded his father.

In the movie 'El Cid', Sancho first came out when he was fighting with his brother, Prince Alfonso, with the king's authority after their father, King Ferdinad died. After princess Urraca saves Alfonso, he attacks Urraca's castle, and then, by Prince Alfonso and Princess Urraca's plan, he got killed by Urraca's servant.

Unfortunately, my research was not correct because there was too many 'Sancho's and I was really confused. However, I will continue my speech.

Now, I will say the differences or wrong informations between the movie and wikipedia. In the movie, Prince Sancho dies by Princess Urraca, actually by her servant. This measn that Princess Urraca killed Sancho. Also, Princess Urraca was Prince Alfonso's wife, and his team. However, in wikipedia, it says that Princess Urraca was the wife of Prince Sancho. Also, in the movie, Prince Sancho came out for a very short time and died very quickly, but in wikipedia, Prince Sancho had even 5 children, and he did many big jobs. I really don't know which one is correct; the movie, or the wikipedia. I think the reason is because that the movie is about 'El Cid', not 'Prince Sancho'. Also, I think that this is because the main character is not Sancho, so, maybe it didn't really focused on Sancho. These were the part of differences and wrong informations.

Lastly, I will talk about my opinion towards Prince Sancho. What do you think when I say the name, 'Prince Sancho'? I think of sympathy. He seems really sympathetic to me because he got killed by his own family. How would he felt about this when he was dying? If I were Prince Sancho, I will be very upset and angry to them, and will wish to revenge them. Also, I think that Sancho has lots of leadership, because he fought with his own brother with the king's authority and seat. Maybe, he may wanted more respectt and attention to him. Plus, he fought right after his father died. It says to me that he wasn't concentrated on his father, king's death and not being sorrowed, but concentrating on the power and authority of the empty king's place. By this, I knew that he really struggles and thinks the authority and power is very important than his family, and I think he is very realistic person and has a cold mind.

In conclusion, this is the end of my presentation. Thank you for your time and attention.

  1. Interesting presentation, and sorry to hear you were tricked by Wiki. Was it Mr.Ganse who said it was wrong? He often picks up on things like that. How about some pictures to jazz things up?
