In May 1090, El Cid defeated and captured Berenguer in the Battle of Tébar. In October 1092 an uprising occurred in Valencia and El Cid began a siege of Valencia. By the time the siege ended in May 1094, El Cid had carved out his own principality on the coast of the Mediterranean. Officially, he ruled in the name of Alfonso; in reality, El Cid was fully independent. El Cid did not die in a war. He died peacefully in 1099. His wife, Jimena ruled in his place for three years until the Almoravids besieged the city.
