Answer
The author of El Cantar de mio Cid is unknown. This is because the poem was not written down until the 13th century, over 200 years after the events it describes took place. It is likely that the poem was originally sung or recited, and that the written version is based on an oral tradition. As a result, it is impossible to know for sure who wrote the poem.
