She can no longer love Rodrigue and, to avenge her father, must demand his punishment. But the king needs Rodrigue to combat the Moors. He returns covered in glory, and is hailed as ‘Cid campeador’ (chief warrior). The hour of punishment comes and the king decides that Chimène, the plaintiff, will pronounce the sentence. Despite her chagrin, she ends by pardoning him. The Cid, knowing his guilt, is ready to kill himself but Chimène herself stops his hand; honour and love are safe and the king unites the young people.
