While he was at Alfaro, Count Garci Ordonez and certain other Ricos-omes of Castille sent to say to him, that if he would tarry for them seven days, they would come and give him battle.

But though this pleased the King it did not please Garci Ordonez, and he said, It seemeth there is not a man left in the land of the Moors, that the Cid can thus do his pleasure! And the King said unto him, Hold thy peace, for in all things he serves me better than thou.
