"The Oath of Santa Gadea" is a legendary episode from the Spanish epic tradition that has been immortalized in various historical and literary works. According to the legend, El Cid Campeador, a Castilian nobleman and military leader whose real name was Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, compelled Alfonso VI, the King of Castile, to swear an oath at Santa Gadea de Burgos. The oath was meant to affirm that Alfonso VI had no part in the assassination of his brother, Sancho II of Castile, who was killed during the siege of Zamora in 1072. This event is said to have taken place in the church of Santa Gadea in Burgos, where El Cid, acting as the champion of justice and the moral compass of the time, held the king to account for his brother's death.

The story of the oath has been depicted in various forms, including literature, theater, and art, and it has become an integral part of the Spanish cultural heritage, reflecting themes of honor, loyalty, and the complex relationship between vassals and their sovereign. The historical accuracy of the event is debated among scholars, as it is primarily known through epic poems and ballads that blend history with legend. Nonetheless, the tale of the Oath of Santa Gadea remains a powerful narrative that continues to be explored and reinterpreted in the context of medieval Spanish history and the larger-than-life figure of El Cid.

Marcos Hiraldez de Acosta, often associated with the retelling of this legend, may be a reference to a modern author or cultural figure who has contributed to the perpetuation of the story. However, without specific information on his role or works related to "The Oath of Santa Gadea," it is not possible to provide a detailed account of his involvement. The legend itself, irrespective of Hiraldez de Acosta's contributions, stands as a testament to the enduring fascination with El Cid and the medieval past of Spain.
