Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. Also called El Campeador, Señor de Bibar, Conde de Valencia.

From Wikipedia:

Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar [...] was a Castilian knight and warlord in medieval Spain. The Moors called him El Cid, which meant "the Lord," and the Christians, El Campeador, which means "the Champion" in modern Spanish, but is idiomatically translated as "the Master of the Battlefield" in Old Spanish. [...] Díaz de Vivar became well known for his service in the armies of both Christian and Muslim rulers, his exile, and his temporary conquest of Valencia, which became independent for a brief period in the Reconquista. After his death, El Cid became Spain's celebrated national hero and the protagonist of the most significant medieval Spanish epic poem, El Cantar de Mio Cid.

To this day, El Cid remains a Spanish popular folk-hero and national icon, with his life and deeds remembered in plays, films, folktales, songs and video games.

Todd Farmerie, SGM, 29 Sep 2012, on the ancestry of El Cid and his wife:

The problem is that El Cid was a member of the obscure local nobility, and all we have as evidence for his parentage are the already myth-tainted celebrations of his life compiled as epics. If you trust the pedigree given there, then you can match up the names with an established family of the high nobility. However, many authors consider this material to be hopelessly tainted by a desire to glorify the hero. Given that surname usage had not developed yet, it is a matter of faith in many cases to conclude that a given person in a document is the person of that name in the legendary pedigree. Simply put, there is no getting around this. As to Jimena, what we know is that she had brothers who were counts and had the patronymic Diaz. She is reported to have been a kinswoman of Alfonso VI, and this has figured heavily in older attempts to provide her with a pedigree [which] have foundered on this rock that likewise derives only from the epic material. A lot of ingenuity has been put into compiling an ancestry for her, but with her mother it comes down to accepting the authenticity of a charter which has been doubted, and with her father, a process of elimination based on geography, onomastics, some assumptions about (or dubious records referring to) social status.

The short answer is that there are theories out there, but consensus is wanting because of the lack of quality source material and different perspectives on the value of that which we do have.

Ancestral Roots (8th ed.) seems a bit wobbly on his death date. At 113A:25 it's "Oct 1100"; at 151:23 it's just "1100", but at 153A:24 we see Mathilde du Perche as his daughter and yet born "1105."
