Perfect scene from one of my Top 10 all time movies. Every gambler should relate to this.

never see this movie anymore(damn shame)..but this was a real goose bumper of a closing scene as the Spaniards send a dead el cid strapped to his horse out against the moors(who knew they had killed him)...they thought he was a ghost and fled in panic.....very cool movie...the final scene was a sort of "weekend at Bernie`s" meets "game of thrones"....
The Emir Al-Mu'tamin and the Valencians offer the crown to ?The Cid?, but he refuses it and sends the crown to King Alfonso. Rodrigo then repels the invading army of Ben Yusuf, but is wounded in battle by an arrow before the final victory. If the arrow is removed, there is a chance that he will live, but he will not be able to lead his army. El Cid obtains a promise from Jimena to not remove it, knowing that this will kill him. He intends to ride out, even if dead. King Alfonso comes to his bedside and asks for his forgiveness.
The morning after El Cid dies, his body is secured upon his horse and sent out at the head of his army with King Alfonso and Emir Al-Mu'tamin on either side of his horse. When Yusuf's army see him with his eyes still open, they believe that El Cid's ghost has come back from the dead. Babieca, his horse, tramples on and kills Ben Yusuf, who is too terrified to fight. The invading North African army is completely defeated. The film ends with King Alfonso leading Christians and Moors in a prayer "for the purest knight of all".
